Cigarettes & Bubblegum Julia Bergdoll

Whether you are young and wishing you were older, grown and yearning for your youth, or caught in the middle and being pulled in both directions, this book of 50 poems is here to show you that you are not alone in this limbo of contrasting desires. It is a messy time with no steadfast answers, and that's okay. Cigarettes & Bubblegum discusses the unspoken facets of mental health, societal gender norms, love, trust, and the melancholic beauty of growing up. And it shows us that it's okay to want a million opposing things at once.
