Sorry I haven’t texted you back by Alicia Cook explores themes of depression, anxiety, heartbreak. I’ve a lot to say about the way she has put her feelings into words.

I am still astonished by the author’s understanding about what goes on in an individual’s mind when they are suffering from depression and anxiety.

Although I couldn’t connect to a couple of poems but I feel that there was something magical and powerful in the writing style.

The thing I liked the most about this book was that the poems were written in the form of tracks (Track 1, Track 2) and each track had a song associated with the poem. I’ve already added a couple of songs to my playlist.

I loved the concept of the book and I feel that both the sides (Side A and B) worked pretty well but I loved Side B more as compared to Side A.

I’ve written a couple of poems in my reading journal so that I could re-visit those beautiful lines again.

I’m sharing some of my favourite lines from the book—
