It also talks about how she began to mend the relationship with the father she never knew. This section discusses the death of Lovelace’s mother and sister and how it impacted her. Moving to section two, “the damsel” is very hard to get through. Although this was not my favorite section, it was something that will stick with me. Through her journey of abuse, she talks about how her upbringing was something she will never forget, though it was horrible for her. Section one, “the princess,” is about Lovelace’s childhood. I would advise that only readers high school and up read this because of the topics and the occasional swearing. Sensitive topics basically make up the entirety of this short “story,” from the author’s childhood to college life. It digs deep into subjects society does not normally acknowledge as “okay” to write about. This collection of poems written in four sections is something to admire. If you’re ever looking for something that’s not necessarily a book, but something to read, look no further: the princess saves herself in this one, by Amanda Lovelace, is nothing short of spectacular.
