Review :
"A clever and important story."    "Another important book by a talented young author."    "Pulls no punches in its exploration of consent and self-acceptance, through free-verse streams of consciousness which cut straight to the heart." "It is a story which would do well in schools and sex-ed classes, but equally in the corners of bedrooms and in the hands of friends." "The book is extremely well written and the story compelling."   "A raw and fiercely gripping portrayal with paramount representation." "Will stay with me for a long time ... it's raw, disturbing, upsetting, and so well written." "This is an uncomfortable read but it is absolutely a story worth reading." "Absolutely adored this verse novel by C.G. Moore. Moving, beautiful, filled with pain but also so much hope."   "A breathtaking story ... The poems are just incredible ...You won't be able to put this down. I was worried the tough subject matter would be hard to read, but the writing is sensitive and skilled ... This book will stay with me for a long time." "Powerful and raw ... I am in awe with how C.G. Moore writes ... Truly amazing." "A lesser book would have skated over these issues, but this free poetry novel puts them front and centre and makes them the whole point."  "Written in beautiful verse that captures this experience so profoundly making it very affecting and will stay with you long after you finish ... such an important book which I am sure will help many readers feel seen and less alone." "C.G. Moore wrote a realistic take on this story and how the darker topics were handled in a mature and respectable way. The characters felt like they were supposed to and thought it was realistic. I thought C.G. Moore had a great writing style and would love to read more."  "I'm glad I read it, and if I was the author I would be very proud of this book. I will recommend it to others." Praise for Gut Feelings "A raw and powerful exploration of chronic illness. Moore's writing is so emotional and immersive - I couldn't put this book down!" Praise for Gut Feelings "Gut Feelings is a deeply moving YA novel in verse about medical intervention and family dynamics. With every page you turn, you’ll be gripped by the story and blown away by the page design."
