Synopsis

This book is not for those of you in an ideal relationship, this is not a collection for the relationship elites and outliers. This book is for the rest of us.

Divided into four sections, Falling for Petals, compiles a collection of poetry and prose that captures the everyday realities of authentic relationships.

Section one highlights the joy and excitement present in new love, section two focuses on the challenges that come with developing a healthy relationship.

Section three portrays the intricacies of maintaining a good relationship and finally, section four looks at the raw realities of breakups and heartbreaks of losing love.

Each section is a celebration of the beauty and fuss that accompanies a genuine relationship in all its diverse forms and splendour.
