✨Sorry I Haven’t Texted You Back Review✨
Author/Publisher: Alicia Cook
Rating:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Sorry I Haven’t Texted You Back is a poetic mixed tape dedicated to those who struggle, or have previously struggled, with their mental health. This, being a mixed tape, is divided into a Side A and a Side B, with B being the remixes of A. There is a list of trigger warnings, including mental health, death, drugs, and a few more, so I highly recommend checking those out ahead of time.
Now let’s get into the review part where I gush for as long as my fingers let me type. When I say Alicia Cook broke my heart into a million pieces, and then smushed them all back together in the most perfect way and I would do anything to read this for the first time again. This book includes so much love, rawness, compassion, frustration, fear, empathy, and so much depth that just envelopes your heart and begs you to keep reading. I just cannot say enough good things about this book. There are reminders throughout of how important you, the reader, are within the remixes, and there is a very good chance one of these quotes ends up tattooed on my body somewhere. And as a teeny tiny preview into how wonderful they are, these two from Track Seventy-Four “take up space by the handful, like candy.” and “ask why when someone you love doubts you” are and forever will be the only reason I am even remotely brave right now in speaking my mind, so thank you for that sweet Alicia, I am quite thankful for your book in about 47 different ways and I think the entire world gets it by now.
I would 100% buy this book again for any one of my friends who might have also been one of those “song lyrics all over the brown paper covers on their textbooks” kinda kids.
