It was not my favorite book of poems that I have picked up, but some of the messages it taught me were worth the read. The author's stylization with the text and imagery resonated heavily with me, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I feel that some of the poems were relatable to me, so I actually did enjoy reading. It helped me a lot to reflective that I annonated my physcial copy. 
I also did like the artwork. I thought some of them were lovely. The artwork for the emotional poems were deeply creative and gave the poem more depth. The erotic ones were nicely sketched.

I grew up looking at Rupi Kaur's work all over my social media feeds in middle and high school so I was really excited to finally be able to listen to one of her books. I definitely think that there should be more trigger warnings at the beginning of all books and this one is no exception even if it isn't super graphic imo. As for the poetry itself there were a couple that I liked that were about love or nature. Most of them had to do with what I believe is toxic relationships and abuse in some form that really isn't for me.

A beautiful poetry book where the emotions and struggle comes out clearly on every page. The line drawings add to the book but still keep the focus on the words. Some of these are just so powerful I think I'll use them in collage art journals. These books must take so much strength from the author to write and publish.
