dark emotional reflective sad slow-paced

2.75

2.75 or 3 on a good day

this is the first poetry book i finished, I'll admit it was a bit hard to go through and the format of the poems make me put it down a lot

but the beginning and end parts raised my star rating a bit because, you can dislike this collection. rupi kaur implies it at the end. but u have to acknowledge that it is a reflection of her inner self her life in multiple phases, in a way that she wants in more accessible language. if u dont like it then it's fine, this is just not for you. there are tons of people who can relate to this collection and be happy with it

with that being said, this collection is not for me. still, im not too much of a poetry hardass to dismiss this form of poetry

emotional inspiring reflective fast-paced

3.0

I don’t think it’s bad, overall, but I don’t feel like it reads as poetry. While some “poems” are inspiring and resonated with me, and you can tell Rupo Kaur really put a lot of raw and vulnerable stories in here, some things read as just cliché words of wisdom. There doesn’t appear to be any structure and minimal flow to the poems, which make it awkward to read, but I still enjoyed and bookmarked pieces where the message was really thoughtful and impactful for me.
