To Make Monsters out of Girls by Amanda Lovelace
See also: The Princess Saves Herself In This One and The Witch Doesn't Burn In This One
My rating: ★★★★
I went straight for the hardcover copy of this book because I love Amanda Lovelace and the hardcopy version of poetry books usually have extra poems. I need. I also liked it for the art and black and white with pops of red color scheme. I think this book focuses on love and heartbreak more than the other two books even though all three are apart of the "women are some kind of magic" series. It's split into three sections titled, "monster-boy", "monster-girl" and "sun-heart". She really takes us into some relationships she's had in a very intense and personal way. She not only talks about the monster-boys who broke her heart but she includes some poems where she is a monster-girl herself. I think if anyone has been in an abusive relationship this could be very triggering for them and she does include that at the top of her list of trigger warnings. I think for some people who went through that it could be very healing.
