I’ve loved Harry Baker’s stuff on socials for a long time, and really wanted to get one of his books. My brother kindly got me this for my birthday, and I read it in 2 days.

Harry’s interests are based around maths, dinosaurs and German, but he’s also a Christian – while not a perfect overlap, it’s pretty close all things considered!

Now, this IS a poetry book, and as a general rule, I am NOT into poetry. I hated studying it at school, and often find it’s just a bit too fancy. But when I do like it, is when it’s fun, and a lot of these are! A handful are more meaningful, but still in his style and so not too much for me to handle, and I really appreciated them too.

I would say my favourites from this book were: “20 Achievable New Year’s Resolutions”, “An Ode to Postcodes”, “Things I Learnt from Interrailling”, and “Trying”, but I loved nearly all of them, and really had to try hard to not list over half the book in picking favourites!

Big fun, big feelings, loved it. Can’t wait to get his other books.
