Angel in Red

Angel in Red by Jacklyn Mcqueen is a relatable poetry book describing the complexity of relationships in early adulthood, that can become toxic without recognition. Told in 4 sections: Angel in Red, With Him, Without Him, and Acceptance, the author uses her personal lessons to show how being so hurt, can damage a person. Each poem shows vulnerability and makes connections with the reader, exploring how the theme of heartbreak is too common and too powerful to pretend does not exist. Everyone makes mistakes; no one is perfect. No one is a clear devil or angel, everyone has good and bad in them. Do not blame yourself for mistakes of the past–learn and grow from them. Treat people better than they treat you. Everyone is a little bruised, but do not let pain keep you from happiness. Spread your wings and be a realistic angel–an angel in red.
