Pillow Thoughts II: Healing the Heart by Courtney Peppernell | ★★★★☆
As a note, a copy of this novel was sent to me via NetGalley by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not effect my opinions in any way.
Courtney Peppernell triumphantly returns with a second installment to her Pillow Thoughts series. Fans of the first collection will adore and connect with part two just as easily as the first one. While I find Pillow Thoughts II to be lacking the emotional punch that Pillow Thoughts did, it is still a wonderful series of prose straight from the heart and soul.
Peppernell has carved a place out in the poetry community and amongst her peers, and her works truly shows this. It all boils down to the subgenre in poetry; the simplistic prose that, despite being short, is still 100% poetry. If you do not like, do not appreciate, or cannot connect with this form of expression? Pillow Thoughts II won't be for you.
The collection is filled with the exact amount of emotions you would expect. It truly is a moment of healing and you can sense this journey heavily throughout it. It's such an important journey to go on and the fact that Peppernell shares this so honestly is very, very important. You're not just reading the lines of someone's thoughts, you're surrounding yourself in it and, like in all good poetry collections, it's therapeutic.
