Summary

I seem to be your new favorite novel.
One that keeps you up at night,
turning my pages.
Fingers lingering on me so you don’t lose your place.

In her first collection of poetry, Lili Reinhart explores the euphoric beginnings of young love, battling anxiety and depression in the face of fame, and the inevitable heartbreak
that stems from passion.

Relatable yet deeply intimate, provocative yet comforting, bite-size yet profound, these beautiful poems are about growing
up, falling down, and getting back up again. They capture what it feels like to be a young woman in today’s image-obsessed world with Lili’s trademark honesty, optimism, and unique perspective.

Accompanied by striking and evocative illustrations, the poems in Swimming Lessons reveal the depths of female experience, and are the work of a storyteller who is coming into her own.

Heart touching/breaking truth and honestly.

The poems resonated with me on such a personal level. It’s as if I finally understand that my own personal experiences were valid and I’m not alone in my own feelings. Definitely a book to read, again and again. Such heartfelt truth, honesty, pain and love. Thank you.

Heartbreaking but soothing poetry

The content of this felt so vunerable and real to me as a true insight not only into her mind but the struggles that so many people go through, I was at first frustrated that their wasn't more structure but I think that is how it is meant: randomly occuring thoughts that have significance even on their own.
The narration is soothing which was not a surprise as many who will read this will also be familiar with Reinhart
