I own the first three books in the Pillow Thoughts series and will definitely be buying this one as well! The passages in this book are relatable and so well written. Easily one of my favorite poetry books/series!! Did not disappoint!

The Pillow Thoughts series has been one of my favorite poetry collections and I've loved everyone of them. Her writing style has always appealed to me but the book I think that maybe I'm just reading it at the right moment because way too many poems are just hitting close to home with me. I feel like I really need this right now. Courtney Peppernell really knows how to pack in the emotion with little words. She really provides hope and encouragement for people that have or are suffering from love. These poems also provide some strength when you just dont know what to do in your life. I'm really sad to see this series go but I'm excited to see what see comes up with next. I do hope that in the future maybe she changes things up and can be a little innovative. I'd really like to see what else she can do. Between the Pillow Thoughts and her newest series I Hope You Stay they are kinda the same. They both have that same sound and a little repetitive.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for my arc of this copy to read and review.

Courtney Peppernell is one of my favorite poetry artists. Her words have touched me in recent years and I have always found them to be inspiring.
Her writing style always appealed to me. She knows how to say a lot with a few words, and also combines this with a strong load of emotion. In the past, she managed to touch me and make me think about life several times.
The fourth book in the 'pillow thoughts' series is certainly just as good as all the others in the series. And honestly, that's the problem. It didn't feel innovative. After reading some books by this author, I am wishing for innovation and a new look on things. She always sticks to her own familiar style, which I find very unfortunate. I hope to see in the future that she will also step outside her comfort zone and get creative.
She can touch a lot of people with her words and writing style, but this fourth part feels so repetitive; that I had no idea I had read something new.

"Time doesn't always completely heal us, but it does make the ache easier to live with"
"It's been forever, and I cant seem to let you go"
This book is a collection of thoughts and is divided like this
* If your soul is grieving
* If your soul is lonely
* If your soul is searching
* If your soul is whole
* If your soul needs empowering
* If your soul needs to breathe
* If your soul needs a friend
* These are for your soul

I don't really like poetry, but when they are books written by Courtney Pepernell I can't help but cry every time as they make me feel like they're talking to me in a personal way.
Many of the writings make the reader feel identified as it provides encouragement and hope to people who have suffered for love, it also provides strength when you feel that you don't have direction in your life or your future.
This last book in the pillow thoughts series comes out on August 4, 2020.
