Welcome to Litsy!

I read this once when it was first published. Wanted to give it a quick reread before reviewing. Any fan of Lana Del Rey will probably appreciate this collection of poems. I really enjoyed it both times I read it. Hope she writes more.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I enjoyed this poetry collection. I actually finished it in one sitting. Anyone who likes Lana Del Rey will probably like this.

🎧 8-23-22 || My monthly poetry pick for August ✔️ I‘m trying to branch out with newer-to-me genres and this is a spoken word audiobook with selected poems and accompanying music. If you like Lana Del Rey‘s music you‘ll probably like this. It‘s not really for me, but I‘m glad to have tried something different!

Our photo shoot didn‘t quite go as planned.

I like Lana‘s music. I do think she can be a little self-indulgent, but that‘s kind of her brand. These poems are definitely in that vein. I probably would‘ve connected to them emotionally a little more in my 20s. She‘s still a talented poet and the musicality of her style translates very well.

Finished up the month with a little melancholy poetry and photography from Lana Del Rey.... lovely 💕

A pretty decent month of reading....

LOVED Acts of desperation, The performance, My cousin Rachel & my re-read of Girl, Woman Other...
And enjoyed everything else too... 💕📚

Happy #LLWS opening day!! 🤗🎁 Thank you so much @Soubhiville ! I am so lucky! I ALMOST bought the Lana Del Ray book last week, but I resisted the urge. I am so glad I did! I love her. I cannot wait to read The House in the Cerulean Sea with my son. The boutique coffee is perfection *chef's 💋* ☕ and the little Narwhal pin is so cute and perfectly complements The Cerulean Sea! 🐋 I am over the moon with my goodies! @Bookgoil @rsteve388 ❤💚

First I just have to preface this review by saying that I am a huge fan of Lana Del Rey. I‘ve always resonated well with her songs so that made me super eager to read her poetry.

This poetry collection is very atmospheric. Reading the poems is like being transported to a sunny and dreamy day in LA. It‘s very on brand for Lana Del Rey.

Wow very impressive. So much more than I thought it would be. I loved her words.

I enjoy Lana Del Ray‘s songwriting skills, and this just tops that off. Authentic and real, and it shows off her pretty cool photographs too.

I‘m going to try to get through this Lana Del Ray before I have to turn it in later on. 🤘🏻

This massively exceeded my expectations. I get a bit nervous about poetry books by celebrities, but this was wonderful. As I hope for from Lana Del Ray, it was deliciously melodramatic, glamorous, a little sad, the photos and typewritten words were things I wish I could have decorated my teenage bedroom is. Gloriously huge emotions, sensitive rhyme and rhythm, all round just really good.

I just 💙

I‘ve been a LDR fan since forever, and I love her even more as she gets weirder and more Lana than ever! On her first poetry collection, she speaks over an ambient soundtrack provided by Jack Antonoff. Some her phrases make me roll my eyes, but then she‘ll come at with a brilliant image. Clocking in at under 40 minutes, it‘s easy to listen to on repeat. It reminds me of the spoken word jazz poems Peggy Lee does on her album Sea Shells. 🏝 🌊 🌸
