'I definitely wasn't expecting the emotional roller coaster this book caused, but I am extremely grateful for it. It made me face some things about myself and realize things about others. I already knew I'd enjoy it because I'm very familiar and have never been disappointed with the author's previous works, but this... Misconceptions About Sunrises got under my skin in the best possible way. From "The Least That I Can Do," to "The Problem With Smiling," to "Nothing But a Number", to "Kissing Melancholy," to "Misconceptions About Sunrises," for me, this book was necessary. Worth every penny and then some.'

'Actually, amazing isn't even the right adjective to describe how great this book is. I loved each and every poem. My personal favorites being "Misconception About Sunrises", "Home Ownership", "Truth About Mirrors" and "Enough"...just to name a few. Reading these poems caused me to feel every single emotion out there. There is AT LEAST one poem in this book that someone out there can relate to. The authors way with words will leave you speechless. This book made me look at various subjects in a different aspect and I am thankful for that. I would wholeheartedly recommend this book to everyone out there. Trust me, it's a great read!'
