In this visually thrilling installment of the inner-workings of Gabbie's mind, we're taken on a journey of self-loathing, self-reflection, and ultimately, self-acceptance through deeply metaphorical imagery, chilling twists on child-like rhymes, and popular turns of phrase turned on their heads. Through raw, provocative tidbits, Dandelion explores what it means to struggle with a declining mental health in a world where mental health is both stigmatised and trivialised. The poems range from topics of rage and despair to downright silliness, so if you don't know whether to laugh or cry, just laugh until you cry.
Exclusive bonus content: a collection of uncomfortably honest personal essays about Gabbie's childhood and relationships.
When I read it, it’s like I opened a page from my own diary and things I’ve never told anyone before, she put into words feelings and situations I never knew how to put into words myself.
The poems in this book are ridiculously creative, deep and emotional. It’s full of humour and relatable situations but also some break taking upsetting moments that’ll make you cry. Whether you like the author or not this is a book you will 100% enjoy.
the poet is beautiful. full of emotion and related to life.
The poems are amazing and so well written. I loved her first book, but this one is even better- would totally recommend!!!
This book was BEAUTIFUL. The part that sold it for me was the letters to strangers in the back (Barnes and Nobles edition). It showed how important the smallest of moments can be to the people we don't even acknowledge in our narratives. They gave a whole new meaning to the ” main character”, 🤩
