About this audiobook

A special, dramatized audiobook version read by the author and Roshina Ratnam.

**I know you don’t want to talk sometimes. Sometimes because it hurts and sometimes because you’re just not supposed to talk about what you want to talk about. Sometimes it can be hard to say, “this is beautiful,” when no one else can see what you see. Or, “Here, this is where the pain is.”  But some part of you knows, the truth about the words you cannot say is that they only hurt until you say them. They only hurt until the person who needs to hear them, hears them.  Because we are human, and the closest we’ve ever come to showing each other who we really are, and how we love, is with words. So I’m going to try to say to you here, what I wish you’d say to me too. Please.
Listen. We can change things.
 
Here.

Audio edition has multiple narrators and added soundscapes for an enhanced listening experience.

Ratings and reviews

This book as inspired me to write my own poems. This book also put me in my feels, but in a good way. " i know that somewhere the sun shone on people you'll never meet", That's such a strong verse. Poetry so powerful to those who need comfort.

To start off the narrators helped keep me engaged and feeling peace. I have hope for my future. I'm so grateful I found this book!

Love this audiobook! The music with the poetry is just perfection. I could listen to it over and over and not get tired of it!
