This is a nice journal. Listen, I would call this a journal/zine, not necessarily a poetry collection, and not really a self-care collection. My favourite parts were when Artemis' story was referenced and the references to sexual assault - those poems actually felt unique and like they were impacting me. The rest felt like prettily written diary entries or tired tropes we've seen often now in poetry. Not bad, but it needs to be marketed differently, as a poetic journal (the artwork and collages support this), and I think to rely on a quote that compares it to self-care feels very fake. Best audience for this would be the Amanda Lovelace, Rupi Kaur poetry readers and not Greek mythology lovers who would expect a whole book about Artemis and her story. Again, it was just ok, and some of the poems definitely fell flat which is why it's not 4 stars.

I was provided the ARC by NetGalley and Central Avenue publishing in return for an honest review.
