I don't like reviewing poetry that is so clearly personal and utilized as personal reflection and healing. 

Was this good? Yes. 

Was it emotional and inspiring, and did it make me nod along and raise my eyebrows, and even get teary eyed? Yes.

But do I think this was revolutionary, or even saying anything new? No. It isn't.

I just came here to have a good time but I feel called out. This book was somehow written at me but also about me but also in my point of view but also by someone who has no idea who I am. That's how much I related to this book. Now this. This is one of the best poetry books I've read in a while. 10000% deserves the 5 stars I'm giving it.

Aphrodite Made Me Do It is a mix of hard truths and self care. The whole time you are sympathising and seeing the authors pain and anger. At the same time you can find many of your own struggles depicted in the poems. 

I cried many times while reading this books. Tears of pain, joy, relief.
