What people say
I felt my own heartache in the pages of this book and that solidarity was reassuring in a very profound way. If you're going through a breakup, I believe seven years would be a comforting title to add to your collection. It's sad, it's hopeful, it's relatable. You will read poems in it and think to yourself "Been there," or "Wow, that's exactly how it feels!"
Amazon review
Alyssa Harmon captures pain of heartbreak in a voice that is as clear and sharp as cut glass. Her words and images stay with you long after you're read the poems. It's like she captured all of the emotions of lost love and distilled them down to the bare bones. The poems are heartbreaking and sad, but there's a thread of hope and knowledge that you can recover from a broken heart. A truly stunning book.
