Reviews

​”You have changed at least one life— mine— with your thoughts conceptualized into this phenomenally-articulated book. This is a once-in-a-lifetime read… Poetry exposing the brutal core of humanity that the world desperately needs.”

— Elyse Haslam

​”This is the book that leaves fingerprints on your heart and marks on your soul. Her words will break you, cut you open, and rip you apart but will stitch you back together, softer and stronger.”

— Insha Fatima

​”She wrote things that give me strength and collect my sorrow. This book is also similar. A calm to my tortured heart… Whenever I feel lost, I just go and open it, read 2 pages, contemplate on them and feel my energy back.”

— Reader Review on Goodreads

​What You Will Find Inside This Essential Edition:
​Explore the core themes of Sadia’s rebellious and confessional work:
​Profound Loneliness: Directly confronting the piercing sense of profound intellectual and emotional loneliness and the deep frustration of educated potential being sacrificed for domesticity.
​The Rebellious Form: See how Sadia masterfully challenges literary norms through intentional structural violations and neologisms (new phrases), forging a fiercely contemporary style. Her work explores the intense psychological themes and self-loathing many writers dare not touch, giving voice to the profound turmoil of the human psyche.
​Specialized Language: Coming from a medical background, Sadia employs specialized medical terminology to convey intense emotions, focusing on depth over surfaces rather than superficiality.
