The Little Book Of Heartache by Siobhan Quinlan

This collection is literally as the title says and discusses how heartbreak makes you feel in the aftermath. Some stand out poems of this collection to me were: Choices, was about how one person choosing another can linger leaving you longing. Bruises, was a harrowing but necessary poem about the harm the wrong one you love can do to you. I love how the collection ends on Thank You, a poem playing into the irony of how one person can make you feel grateful for all you went through to realise the good in knowing what you did go through to not hopefully go through it again in the future knowing they treated you so wrong.
