Absolutely perfect. I still have tears streaming down my face from my first read-through, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Make Believe will live permanently on my nightstand. I need it nearby for any time I need a beautifully worded dose of hope. Thank you, Victoria, for being you!

I love Victoria’s poetry - I find it so thoughtful and smart. It says that feeling I’ve felt but find impossible to put into words. It sounds trite but I felt seen by so many of these poems. Highly recommend!

Lovely. I'm not into poetry but these are beautiful and came into my life just at the right time. I love that you can flip through it at random and contemplate on the poem you land on.

I absolutely am loving this book! However the very center page is ripped😞 the words of what I have read are beautiful just wish they took better care in packing and delivering product

This book is beautiful - relatable and insightful.
