I very much enjoyed A Bit Much, a collection of poems from Lyndsay Rush, aka maryoliversdrunkcousin on your social media pages everywhere. The collection is sorted into four categories so you can peruse at your leisure as the mood strikes you. I listened to this as an auidobook and really appreciated Rush's narration of her poems and always truly enjoy experiencing them as they were intended to be read out loud. 

If you enjoy Rush's sardonic sense of humor that also veers into tenderness, I definitely recommend this collection. There were several throughout that stuck with me - including the poem about an engagement ring and how..."the setting is delicate and we should be gentle with it...and f*ck me up if that isn't great relationship advice." Equally lovely are her poems dedicated to celebrating women's accomplishments that are not tied to their partners or children, although there are poems that celebrate that, too. 

Her poems around letting go and her affirmations poem are two that I could use taped above my dresser or on my work desk, motivating, tender, but with a good humor about them. If you need a little lightness in your life, get a copy of this collection. 

Thank you very much to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the advanced copy.
