Nick Barlow reviewed Stop Trying to Be Fantastic by NAYLOR
Review of 'Stop Trying to Be Fantastic' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
I picked up this book after seeing her spoken-word show of the same name, which covers similar ground to this and I'd also strongly recommend. This is a short collection of poetry, but one that resonated really strongly with me in its themes of searching for a way to be honestly yourself even if you're not quite sure who you are. There's a lot of humour in these poems, but it's through jokes that she can slip in with ideas and thoughts that have you thinking twice and wondering about your own choices as she lays bare some of her own.
