Instant National Bestseller

From TikTok star and author of I Hope You Remember—which John Stamos called a “gift to the world”—Josie Balka comes this evocative collection of over eighty poems about the different types of love.

From the coziness of lifelong friendship to the aching intensity of lost love, Loves of Our Lives is a poetic journey through the heartfelt relationships that make us human.

In her highly anticipated second collection, social media sensation Josie Balka masterfully puts words to the indescribable, weaving her signature blend of raw emotion and vivid imagery into poems that speak straight to the soul.

Featuring eighty poems, some already beloved by her followers and others exclusive to this collection, Loves of Our Lives explores six types of love—familial, toxic, romantic, friendship, self-love, and lost love—and invites reflection, offering solace and celebration in equal measure in this love letter to love itself.

An outstanding book of poetry

I loved it all… There was not one poem that I didn’t enjoy…. I could relate to all the poems…. Some made me happy some sad, even cried a few tears. I would highly recommend the book.

The author reads the book. She has a gift. I've listened to the whole book in one day. I'm going to be buying a physical copy to give to my best friend. Thank you, Josie; your work really touched me. 10/10 Recommend!
