The Princess Saves Herself in This One by Amanda Lovelace

The title is what caught my eye in the first place.  I was eager to read this because I thought that it was fiction poetry in the sense that it had nothing to do with the author.

But it is essentially the author.  It's her experiences, her wishes, her hopes, her loves, and more all through poetry and separated into chapters of how she's a princess and then evolves to a queen.

The book deals with some sensitive subjects, but enlightens the reader in thinking that out of everything bad, there has to be something good too, right?

Lovelace takes us on a nonfiction yet fiction journey of her own life through non-rhyming poetry.  The poetry is basic and yet powerful at the same time with it's non-grammatical structure. Similar to Milk and Honey, Lovelace gives you guidance without it being a self-help book, but a poetry book.   4 stars.
