Hollow: A love like a life

The book we shall be reviewing today is 'Hollow: A love like a life' penned by Jazalyn.

Jazalyn is also known for her works like vViIrRuUsS: I Never Forget and Rose: Future heart. She has a unique writing style where she narrates a story through her beautifully written poems, combining prose and poetry, different forms of literature.

Hollow: A love like life is a paranormal fantasy read. It explores the various shades of love, such as forbidden love, obsessive love, and different kinds of relationships like long distance and toxic relationships, and so on.

The book has narrated the story of a spirit of the dark realm falling in love with a spirit of a light realm, where they can't meet, but they find a way to communicate through a secret language.

One of my favourite poems in the book is:

The times are peculiar-

Maybe you’re not in the mood for this

But I’m always in the mood

Of escaping from reality

And I find the courage

In loving you

With my different love

You said you love the physical

But I know you’re more than that-

Deep down inside everyone loves it-

Even me-

But I haven’t lived it-

I can’t-

No one was enough for me

And now that I loved you

I can’t see past you

I want to wait forever

To live with you what I couldn’t

No matter the circumstance

Hoping you’ll be willing

To heal any pain

And any triumph

We meet in the spiritual

I admire your enlightened state-

That’s why I love you

And why I want to be close to you

But even if it’s the only thing I want most

I don’t know how to approach you-

I hesitate

Because we’re still on a fictional stage

I feel such a spiritual connection

That I would not pretend in front of you-

I would not be able to hide my feelings

If we were alone

And I’d want to sense you

Even without touch

As long as you’d want it too

And even if it seems impossible

Right now

At least know

That you’re the only one

I dream of

If you are in for something unique, but also deep and emotional, this is your pick.
