“Tay Reem has a way of captivating you from beginning to end. I was in an array of emotions, I connected to the characters...The words were so vivid, yes it is technically poetry but it reads like a story...a tall tale where you’re almost guessing if it’s real. It’s that spot on.” -- Tales of Woe

"Interestingly enough, the two poems I enjoyed the most didn’t really fall into the main ‘plot’. Both ‘Mother’s Day’ and ‘Father’s Day’ read as short stories rather than poems, and I found it fascinating how Reem combined both forms in a single piece.

"I truly don't know where to start with this book BUT there's one thing I can say - it was INCREDIBLE. it's raw and emotional. it makes you feel things, makes you think. I would classify it as a poetry thriller - if that's even a genre. it touches on family problems, mental stability and child abuse. I mean, it doesn't only touch it, it completely digs their hand in it. it felt like I was that character, feeling those emotions, struggling with myself. I completely submerged into this story and these people. and I love that."
