Changing with the Tides

**I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review** 

I am in LOVE with this collection. It was a page turner and I think a need for everyone to read. Shelby writes about anxiety in a way that makes you feel like you're not alone. She doesn't feel bad about having it or make you feel alone (like the world often does) but writes about her own experiences that are so relatable it makes you remember having anxiety is okay. There were several poems that made me realize I wasn't alone and thought 'wow she thinks that too??'. Her other poems were beautifully written and a much awaited sophomore collection after a 2 year hiatus. This book is worth the wait, and I can't wait to get my hands on a physical copy.
