The autobiography of Caitlin Kelly, titled The Words I Wish I Said, is an ambitious and inspiring work that every woman who has ever wished to pursue her aspirations despite scepticism and opposition should read. The book was written by Caitlin Kelly herself. Kelly, who had spent the majority of her adult life working as a freelance writer and editor, suddenly found herself 45 years old with four children and no funds or prospects after she was laid off from her job. She did not allow this to stop her, and instead she abandoned her old methods in favour of discovering new activities, and gradually she became accustomed to the idea that things may change for the better. Every single chapter had its way of expressing itself. It expressed such emotions and thoughts in an impactful yet simple way. As a teenager, I feel that our thoughts tend to be all over the place and hard to comprehend. This novel seemed to put it all into perspective and give a form of closure. It took my thoughts and explained them in ways I never could. I wish I had told you how much your friendship means to me, instead of assuming that it was obvious or normal or just because we’re friends and we have always been since so long ago. Caitlin Kelly's autobiography, The Words I Wish I Said, is an enlightening work that is also very motivational and brutally honest. It will bring up a wide range of emotions in you, including laughter and tears, as well as the drive to get out of bed and start living the best life you can right now. Although fair warning this book can be a little dark and sad. I felt that it was something everyone would be able to find a relation with. I felt it was something that everyone should hear or come to terms with.I wish I could tell you how much I love spending time with you, but I don’t want to scare you away with my intensity and passion.

I found this book to be very interesting in so many ways. One of them was because the age that the author wrote this book was sixteen. So who better write and focus on the thoughts of a teenager, rather than one themselves. Another was the way and the placement of the chapters, I feel that they all went hand in hand and made sense in the way they were placed.spoiler alert:these were not all the words i wish i said. in fact most of these words i wish i didn’t write. just to the small fact of, i wish i didn’t care… but sadly i do. but if i said the words i wish i did, then they wouldn’t be my little sec... I wish I said that thing you needed to hear. The things that can strengthen you and help you see the bright side of life. We only have so many opportunities to interact with people, and we never know when those chances will go. I will thus make an effort going forward to overcome my shyness and express my thoughts, even if they aren't flawless. Because there are moments when the words we wish we had said are the most crucial of all. I wish I said, good job! When someone did something well, instead of just saying nothing at all or asking them why it took them so long to do it or whether they got it right or not (which makes them feel bad about themselves). Caitlin Kelly has made a habit of publishing best-selling memoirs on an annual basis, and the most recent of them recounts the stories that lie behind the things that she wishes she had said in the past. In her book "The Words I Wish I Said," Kelly offers advice on how to respond appropriately when confronted with difficult circumstances, whether they arise in one's own life or in the lives of others. This book will give you the motivation to leave a positive comment where you once wrote a negative one if you have ever underestimated the power of a simple act of kindness. If you have ever done this, you should read this book. Story

I was beyond impressed with this book, I did not set my expectation too high. It still managed to exceed them. I was not expecting it to turn out the way it did, nor was it in any relation to the types of poetry books I like to read.
