I absolutely loved this poetry collection! I really related to a lot of these poems and that is one of the things I look for in poetry. This was my first time reading from Blythe Baird and I will absolutely read from them again. A lot of these poems really hit me in my feels and I felt really understood. This collection is extremely personal and raw, and that is something that I really loved about it. I teared up multiple times while reading this and that usually doesn't happen to me. You could feel the author's emotions in the poems, and that is what makes this collection really special. The poems were extremely well written and had great imagery. These poems really took me back to my teenage years and how I dealt with my self-esteem and mental health. I can't wait to see what Blythe Baird comes out with next!

Thank you to NetGalley and Button Poetry for granting me the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you NetGalley for the chance to read and review Sweet, Young & Worried.

When I came across the book I realised that the authors name seemed familiar. I think I heard her slam poem, when the fart girl gets skinny in freshmen year. Aside from that I haven't read or listened to a lot of her work but now I plan on doing so. 

Blythe Baird's collection is beautifully mature. Some of the poems make you sad, but there's a sense of a person who has grown up in these pieces which helps a lot; which gives you hope. That our personalities are more than what broke us.
