A Candid Take

This project required that I imagine possiblities for book collection themes and then curate the titles for the collection. After deciding on this direction for the collection, I started exploring the ideal reads for someone experiencing a break up. Would they want to be uplifted? Would they need to express their frustration and find validation in the reading? What energy would they embody?

Book Collection Statement: "You’ve tried wallowing in self-pity, gone through all their social media posts and even considered calling their mother. The pint of Ben & Jerry’s has started crying with you and you think maybe you’ll finally take that shower today. On your next ice cream and Kleenex haul pick up this collection and give yourself a chance at finding the rainbow in this breakup storm. Nothing distracts the mind and heals the heart better than a few good reads. We got your back, and its time to get out of bed (or get back in it with one of these books) and do your healing a favor. They didn’t deserve you anyway… "
