This is such a raw, personal collection of poetry and essays. Makenzie Campbell is a beautiful writer and I love seeing the growth from her previous books to this one. Self Portrait has so much to say on love, girlhood, loss, longing, and growing up. I'd definitely recommend it.

Shelby Leigh's writing is so beautiful and honest. This book has so much to say on things like growth, anxiety, self love, grief, loneliness, and healing. I think this would be a really good book to read when you're going through some kind of hard time, especially mental health wise. I'm really glad I got to read it.
