Most poems are surface level, unoriginal, 3-5 lines to describe one feeling or thought with no subtlety. However, I do give an extra star for the handful of poems that are sufficiently well crafted and intentional. In these, she makes use of literary devices nicely and does invoke a strong response from the reader. I connected with the subject material and blew through it in one short sitting, so it felt worthwhile albeit not life changing.

I started off liking the poetry in this book, but I found as I kept reading that I just didn't really connect to it. 
This book just wasn't for me.

While there were several poems within this collection I felt a genuine interest in and personal connection with, overall, I found that most of the pieces held a very vague, generalistic style that doesn’t suit my personal preference. I was also very surprised at some of the content! I had never heard of any trigger warnings for this book, despite how heavily hyped it’s been, and I was in for quite a shock while reading it at work for the first time.

Keep in mind, there is artwork in this book. Some of this artwork depicts or strongly implies some of the content. View with discretion.

The whole first section is about being sexually abused. The rest of it is about daddy issues, sex, toxic relationships, bad breakups, and modern day feminism.
