Born to Love, Cursed to Feel

This book was the only thing that saved me. My last relationship left me completely broken and confused. No one understood what i was going through. Samantha did tho. Her words gave me hope that i will heal and move on. Thank you so much Samantha. I owe you so much. This book means everything to me.

I really liked this book of poetry. I love having it in my collection. I would purchase again.
I went through a very very difficult betrayal by my husband(now ex), heartbreak, divorce.
This was a powerful book during that chapter of my life.

Just be warned.. there are *some* moments that some people might describe as "erotic" or "sexually explicit"....
That didn't bother me, because that comes with love, emotion, humanity, heartbreak... sex is part of being human.
...but it might bother others. So heads up.

First of all, the book arrived fairly quickly and on time. It's a quick read, yet I took my time to read it so I could really savor and enjoy everything this book had to offer. These poems were obviously written from experience and I could relate to almost every single one. Samantha King is a very good writer. Highly recommend this!

This is the type of book that needs to be hyped up! When I read the first page I was already getting emotional because it described me so perfectly. I have so many favorite poems within this book and man they're worth reading. I'm not even finished with the whole book and I already love it.

Not worth the paper it is printed on, while reading this I found it hard to continue on from line to line. As it seemed I was reading from a thirteen year old girls diary. There was no depth to any of the "poems", a lot of them didn't even flow and felt contrived. I didn't find any emotion what's so ever in anything i was reading, it felt more like I was reading words put on a page just so they could amass a certain amount of writings as a collection. If you are looking for something with meaning stay away from this book.

Reading this collection was like having someone translate my own feelings which were always in a language foreign even to myself. There were moments when I just stopped reading and cried because it was so validating to know there's at least ONE other person on the planet who can relate to the diverse, and often conflicting emotions I feel about love and life. I'm sure I'll read this collection countless more times in my life. Right now, it's my therapy. Thank you, Samantha King.

This collection of poems is about love, being abandoned and all the troubles of love teenage girls often seem to have. This poem does seem more like journal entries or a diary of a girl. Some good stuff; otherwise, short and somewhat, these relation to love seems cliche. At least to me it did. There wasn’t really a meter, or rhythm. Other than that this was okay.

This book speaks to my heart! I saw one of her quotes on ig & wanted to learn more about the author. The more I read the more I felt like she was reading my soul. Im going through a tough time in my marriage & felt as if I was going to lose it. This book is Raw & Has been one of the best things I happened to stumble across. I feel human again, I feel motivated & encouraged to feel these emotions & deal with them rather than bottle it all up! Thank you for writing this Samantha! This is a book I will keep forever!

This book is every bit of emotional seduction. If you are a woman this is an absolute must have. The poems literally speak to you and enlighten every area of your emotional process. My only regret is that I didn’t buy this book sooner! I’m so glad to know that an author such as Samantha exists, the book is changing my life in more ways than I can express. If you don’t have this book you need it and if you don’t need it you’ll wish you had it!

The deeper she became in the book, the more pain it brought back to me, as profound her honesty I feel like its a giant slap in the face of the other woman "the 5mth pregnant" woman. I sat and remembered, sat and wished she could tell her side tell her anguish tell how she probably knew who she met in the store was not just a friend....i felt this entire book of pain was a belting of mistress across my mind and an attempt to justify it...she knew but wanted to win him anyway she lost but found her new husband whos amazing...yet she writes this to remind "5 mth pregnant woman" "he was never really hers eaither" the book made me think and for that im intrigued at the same time in my mind i found her to.be quite devious.
