"You hate the cold and I love it,but I love you more.So always, even in winter, I pray for heat." As it happens once in a lifetime or so, I picked up a book at random and it turned out to be a masterpiece. “All you need is love.”The truth:you need a hell of a lot morethan that. This book was absolutely incredible, heart wrenching and riveting. I never knew I could feel so much. I never imagined I would feel so much - at once. Funniest part of all is, I thought poetry wasn't
My eyes are literally swollen from sobbing. Ashley Woodfolk, you are a gift.
“Perhaps, our fatal flaw is that we attempt to make 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 out of people who are meant to be ｔｅｍｐｏｒａｒｙ” - Ruby Francisco ♡ After reading this, I am once again left to pick up pieces of my heart 😪 The first page alone is beautifully written (I have a thing for pretty words). The pitch had me beyond excited and the questions that arose when I began reading had me turning the pages. I figured that the answers might leave me heartbroken but I needed to find out more (update: i am 💔 ) ♡ I love how i...
Well that was an incredibly beautiful story. Told in poetry form. Took a little getting used to because I'm not really into poetry but my gods does it work. Made me cry at the end too so bonus points for that.
*4.15beautiful and heartbreaking; the 1st book in-verse i've enjoyedthank you epic reads for the arc!!
Author Ashley Woodfolk explores the struggles of love in her novel in verse titled NOTHING BURNS AS BRIGHT AS YOU. Two girls form a fast friendship that takes them on an emotional ride. One girl is looking for more than friendship and believes there is room in the relationship for more than the other girl is willing to give. Understanding a love that doesn't click all the usual boxes makes it difficult especially when others don't recognize this love as normal. Filled with risk taking and both e...
Thank you NetGalley for providing me with an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. Nothing Burns as Bright as You is a testament to queer romance, the complexities of female friendship, and (seemingly) unrequited love. It's often joked among sapphics in the LGBTQ+ community that sapphics had an oddly intense and all-consuming friendship with another girl in their teenage years that ended catastrophically, giving a hint to a part of their identity they hadn't yet understood. Nothing...
5 stars. This was one of my anticipated reads of this year and I was not disappointed. This book is full of heart and emotion and it put me through the wringer. Two girls who are best friends but also something more. It’s complicated. Their relationship was complex, disastrous, and borderline toxic with how much they depended on each other. It was messy and real. I loved the way this was written. I don’t pick up books written in verse often because I feel sometimes the story gets lost in the for...
Quite honestly, I feel like a lot of people sleep on Ashley Woodfolk. She has a beautiful way of capturing stories and characters for a teen audience. This one definitely didn’t disappoint. It was lyrical and heart wrenching, a beautiful and detailed version of love and loss. I was blown away by the metaphors used to describe the relationship between the characters. When I was a teenager, I experienced that all consuming love that can leave you empty. What was different about this book is that W...
| | blog | tumblr | letterboxd | | If you like lyrical love stories such as Open Water by Caleb Azumah Nelson, or books that give serious A24 coming-of-age film vibes such as All the Water I've Seen Is Running by Elias Rodriques, don’t sleep on Nothing Burns as Bright as You. The author captures how all-consuming first love can be through the unnamed narrator’s non-linear recollection of her relationship with another girl who she addresses as ‘you’. We know their relationship ends in flame, bu...
I knew I would love this but it exceeded my expectations. Heartbreaking and beautifully written.

Love this book so much!!! All the stars!!!
Thank you to the publisher for an eARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.Nothing Burns as Bright as You is a love letter to friendships. Friendships that develop to a level that is intense. Friendships that become romantic, but are still tangled in questions. This book messed with my brain. I was so invested in our two characters and seeing what happened and how everything played out. I did not want to take my eyes away from this book. Highly recommend this one. *I'm plan...
I was fortunate enough to receive an advanced copy of this book and I can’t wait to share it with my students and my friends. Written in verse with many beautiful metaphors it tells the powerful love story between an unnamed narrator and her…girlfriend doesn’t seem accurate, and neither does lover…but she is her first love. Very powerful and a bit tragic…but it takes me back to the first time I was in love and how intense it can be. Just beautiful.
