Overview

A poetic and poignant ode to twenty-something life, this collection will deeply resonate with anyone who has ever lived in, loved, or dreamed of New York City. A must-read for fans of Rupi Kaur and Cleo Wade. In her debut poetry collection, Lindsay MacMillan takes readers on an emotional rollercoaster through early adulthood: rooftop highs and subway lows, first dates and soul-mate friendships, corporate offices and existential crises. From the rush of a new crush to the ache of heartbreak to the numbness that sets in when life and love leave us burned out, each poem or ""vignette"" explores an ordinary moment that shapes us. Grouped by New York's iconic locations, these vignettes reveal the magic and messiness of a city and a life stage where the bravest thing we can do is to keep our hearts wide open. And if we look foolish or fall on our faces-well, it's New York, so no one's watching. Except the city herself, who might just be our most complicated love of all, making us feel limitless one moment and insignificant the next. As this emotionally rich collection shows, New York serves as a mirror to our growth and a reminder that if we can make it here, we can make it anywhere.
