Detailed description:
In her debut poetry collection, Hayley gives voice to the roots of struggle and pain growing up, as well as the love and pursuit of self-acceptance that were fundamental in her own choice to live. Her verses weave a narrative that is both deeply personal and universally resonant–through shadows of the past and the fleeting moments of joy captured in the simplicity of sharing an orange.
“even when you think there’s nothing left life gives us oranges so go share one with your best friend maybe they thought the world would end when they were 16 too.”

Cute cover and I can’t wait to read through it all. I like to do a few a day. Definitely an emotional read but is healing by seeing perspectives. Time passes anyways! Feel better. xo

I saw some of the pages from this book on tiktok and purchased it to help cope with getting out of an abusive relationship and to heal, it kinda did the opposite so that was kinda unexpected but the writing portrays emotions in a beautiful way that makes sense and relatable.

“save me an orange” by Hayley Grace stands as a remarkable testament to the talent of a young writer whose poetry resonates deeply with readers of all ages. Despite her youth, Hayley’s words carry a wisdom and maturity that surpass her years, speaking directly to the hearts and souls of her audience.
What sets “save me an orange” apart is its rawness and honesty. She fearlessly delves into the complexities of life, laying bare her emotions and experiences with a passion that is palpable in every line. There’s a refreshing lack of pretense in her writing; she doesn’t sugarcoat the harsh realities nor does she exaggerate for effect. Instead, she presents her stories with authenticity, inviting readers to connect on a profound level.
One of the most compelling aspects of this collection is its universality. While Hayley’s words may speak directly to the younger generation, their themes transcend age, speaking to the human condition in all its forms. Whether you’re a teenager grappling with identity, an adult navigating the complexities of relationships, or someone trying to find their place in a tech-driven culture, there’s something in these poems that will resonate with you.
Her poems are a testament to the power of poetry to illuminate the human experience. It’s a book that will make you laugh, cry, and ponder the intricacies of life long after you’ve turned the final page. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone in search of poetry that is both profound and profoundly human.

I love this! It feels a bit chaotic. Is it poems… is it a story?! Its thoughts in raw form. It’s comforting because it’s familiar!
