When the soul turns felt like an infinite look into personal vignettes--diary entries, stanzas unfolding into laments that Anfal kept producing over and over again. I also loved the artwork by Haidar here. There are so many components of what makes humanity universal-- grief, love wonder, angst, self exploration, and the work moves through them beautifully. a wonderful first trek into a promising author's mind.

If you need a little company, in poetry form, while you're going through changes... a reminder that everything will be okay, then this book is for you.

A round of applause.

Anfal is ridiculously talented. the way she writes is kind of magical, every word took me somewhere, I can tell there's a story behind the story, and now I'm curious to know more!

I have to say... I liked the love chapter when the F word started appearing.

I loved how raw it is!

Thank you for letting us into your soul and walking us into your journey, my favourite chapter was love of course.

وايد حلو الكتاب، أحس أني محظوظ اني أعرفج و أفهم مخج، لأني حاس بكل كلمة انها مكتوبة من أعماقج صج، و صراحة مب سهل الواحد يعبر بهالطريقة. برافو على شجاعتج، براود اوف يو

It's so true. Thank you for sharing a part of yourself.

It's very relatable but I don't think I could ever put it into words as well as she did.

I love her poems.

Anfal creates so much depth and beauty even in heartbreaking poems which is what I love.

It's so deep. so touching, and it healed places in me. I cried in release and I didn't even care.

I loved it. I'm so proud of you for taking this step. and it's just the beginning.

Started the book, and just like that, my eyes are full of tears, because I related to every word. the way it's written is so raw and real.

I look at the words, I feel them, and sometimes I'm smiling. This is different.. it's like taking me into a journey into Anfal's internal world.

I haven't read anything like this before... and the way she sees things, her journey itself is beautiful. and I really hope that people who are going through this journey to find this book, because it kinda feels validating, like I'm not alone in this shit.

Anfal is incredibly talented, mashallah.

Her words carry so much depth and beauty. I felt so seen through these words.

I genuinely like it, the poems hit close to home, and it made me quite emotional... and that's a good thing. I think that's one of the best forms of writing, words that move us enough to feel something.

I couldn't let go of it. I don't even remember when I last felt this connection with a book, I did not feel alone, in a very weird fascinating way... and even the tears that were dropping were carried with hope.

The book carries so much authenticity, and a spiritual glow that inspired me to write and write, and write.

Thank you for this masterpiece, which will touch every single girl who felt like she did not belong and had to come back to herself. May god bless you and your soul.
