Another one I just couldn’t put down.

I myself often think of the dead girls from film and how they ended up that way and sometimes if they even had a chance.

Hauntingly beautiful and will suck you in from the first page.

Amazing work Lucy!

what I loved most is how each poem shifts to match the tone/voice of the character or media it references — an impressive range while still maintaining the author's distinct voice.

Lovely! Touching, specific, piercing, referential, reverential.

Absolutely adore this book! This is for anyone who gets emotional thinking about the dead girls in tv shows, the side characters who die in the first act in movies. If you’re a fan of poetry, if you’ve ever stanned a dead girl, do yourself a favor and read this.
