Review: the sunflower project by unLYSHed
Rating: ★★★ Release Date: 7th May 2020 Genre(s): Religious Poetry Massive thank you to BooksGoSocial and NetGalley for providing me with a free ebook in exchange for an honest review. I do really love poetry (when I read it) and the premise of this: growth and healing, sounded right up my alley. The sunflower project is a collection of poems grouped into the four stages of a life cycle of a sunflower - it symbolises unLYSHed's life journey and growth to becoming the person she is today. My favourite aspect is definitely the writing style - it's beautiful, raw, intimate and emotional. The honesty in her words makes you feel a genuine connection to the writer, it leaves you enthralled and hoping for the best for her. It address abuse, sexual assault, loss of faith (and gaining that faith again), heartbreak, trauma, self love and your own worth. One quote that particularly resonates with me is: "your heart is happy now but your mind remembers then do not be ashamed"...
