    I never really liked modern poetry before, it always felt like all of the authors and the poems were talking about the same things, the same struggles and loves. It was all to much Instagram like for me. But even though Pillow Thoughts could fit into that category of poetry, it still manage to deliver feelings and moments inside a storyline that were beautifully astonishing. Totally loved it and recommend it.

    Muy muy lindo y ligero. Me saltee partes que no sentía de leer como “si estas enamorado” pq no lo estoy y nada, simplemente no quise. Pero lo bueno de Courtney es que aún leyendo las secciones que vos quieras, es que su escritura no pierde la hermosura. Creo que el hecho mismo de que tenga secciones ya de por sí lo hace especial a este poemario. Recomendado, leere los otros de seguro.

    This poetry is simplistic, I enjoyed it as a casual read, mostly love poems, nothing really stuck with me though

    I don’t think this is a self-help book. This book of poems, rather, is collection of looking for someone you love that deserves you. TOO SWEET. NOT MY FOOD POEM.

    Maybe I should read this when I am in love
    Maybe then I would appreciate the sweetness of it

    Unrequited love is a wellspring for embarrassing poetry.
    I should know.
    In sixth grade I wrote a book of it to Cody.
    He laughed.
    I cried.
    And then I died a little on the inside.

    This book of poems makes me feel the same. Kind of sad. Kind of embarrassed.

    I don't like being critical because poetry is something very personal and it was brave to put it into the hands of strangers. However, I think this poetry feels childish and lacks depth. It took me straight back to sixth grade. I was expecting more sophisticated language and ideas and I was disappointed.

    I've been trying to get a head start on my 2022 goal of getting into poetry by slogging through this one, and I sure chose my first stop poorly.

    I figured by the cover that this would be a collection of poetry on things one might be thinking while lying in bed and having trouble sleeping. And I guess that's what it is, for the author. Turns out, we just think about very different things in general.

    Now, I get the appeal of love poetry, and can enjoy it if it's well done. But as someone who doesn't really feel romantic love, I have to say this became very tedious very fast.

    Basically, this is a collection of diary like writing on heart-ache and love. There are a couple more traditional poems in the mix, but most of the writing is just juvenile prose about love and heart break formatted to look like poetry.

    There was nothing original, nothing particularly skillful, nothing inspiring, and definitely nothing relatable in this (for me). Having said that, I'm sure there are plenty of people who would enjoy this. Especially younger ones, or maybe the type of people who love love, and who are only satisfied if they are in a relationship.

    A good first step in my poetry journey, though, as it's always useful to figure out what one dislikes when trying to figure out what one actually enjoys.

    After reading Rupi Kaurs two books of poetry last year I have definitely been more intrigued to pick up and read some more. This one popped up as an amazon prime freebie so of course I gave it a whirl.Pillow Thoughts is a collection of poetry and prose broken into 10 sections. All deal with love, heartache, loss, and self worth. She delves into all the various aspects and emotions that come with falling in love. The heartache when it ends, the butterflies when it’s new, the beauty in the comfortable mundane-ness of a relationship. Peppernell explores feelings of self esteem and self worth, something that everyone has struggled with at some point in their lives. She has a simple yet heartfelt writing style that was easy and relatable. She captures complex feelings and emotions in a way that is easily digestible and enjoyed. I could see myself in much of her work, here are a few passages that I really connected with:Overall an enjoyable, quick read, one that can be revisited and felt anew with different stages in life. Definitely recommend this to my poetry fans (and like me- new to the poetry game!)

    It’s not poetry, it’s not even poetic, it’s not prose - there’s no real story — it’s just a lot of very simple sentences. Very cringe at times and quiet boring, very surprised this was published even more surprised people bought it.

    Just terrible. Generic and not a rich reading. Page four was a clear sign that the book was not gonna be a words masterpiece.
