Fireflies at 3 am

I was offered a version of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

When I first started this poetry collection, I was not a fan. The style was different than what I had expected and the poems were a bit rough around the edges. However, as I pushed through the collection I came to really appreciate the uniqueness of these poems and the style. It took a bit of getting used to, and could perhaps be worked on a bit to flow better, but overall i enjoyed it.

I didn't find the poems to be forced like some other people did. I found them genuine. There didn't seem to be any theme connecting them together, which gave a bit of a random feel to the collection and made it more difficult to really get in the ‘mood' of each poem. They reminded me of the random thoughts you have right before you fall asleep, which kind of makes sense considering the title.

Overall, I enjoyed the collection and would be interested to read any future publications from this author. I really think they have potential, and they do really clever things with words which I admire.
