The companion chapbook to the bestselling Empty Hotel Rooms Meant for Us. Rather than holding on to lovers, past and present, this collection of poetry focuses on the art of letting go.

Christina has quickly become my new favourite poet. Wow.

Regrets like vultures was definitely my favorite.

Amazing

I’m honestly speechless, Christina has done it again and left me wanting more. This is the second book of hers I have finished today and I am about to start another. Her poems are mostly short but powerful and is all too relatable for someone who has had to let go of someone they weren’t ready to let go of. Beautifully written and I can’t wait to read more.

I want my dollar back.

I’m mad at myself for taking the time to read this through. The poet is more so ranting than she is sharing poetry. I didn’t feel like I was on a journey of loss, love, and growth. Rather, I was reading the open diary of someone who is pretending to let go when really deep down they are still holding on. Poetry is meant to move, change, and resonate deeply with the reader. My time would have been better spent on something else. As a fellow poet, I was fairly disappointed. I was hoping to feel the grief and be immersed in the journey. I was cheated. This book gets 0 stars if it were possible, and frankly it is childish masochism — at best.
