This is just an honest review about how I felt.
I'm a massive modern poetry fan. "Insta Poetry" as some like to call it.
I like the millennial angst; I am said millennial.
I like the socially acceptable dive into sadness; I often need something to tip me over the edge so that I can deal with my issues.
I like the stark reality of relationships in poetry, written in ways that makes you examine the feelings you may have felt once; because relationships are hard and I need to feel like someone understands.
In saying that, I don't think I like this one. Not because I didn't relate to any of it, I did. On occasion I felt connected to the words. I just didn't like the overall simplicity of the book. I didn't like that some of the poems conveyed the exact same message, only written differently.
I think the cover and the title is what initially caught my attention, but I don't think this will become a favourite.

This just isn't very good. Her style's distinctly reminiscent of Rupi Kaur.

Okej,knjiga jeste ozbiljnije tematike ali nije po meni nešto originalna,videla sam da je još jedna osoba prokomentarisala da je slična kao knjige drugih žena kao Rupi Kaur ili Warsan Shire i slažem se,ima taj isti osećaj dok čitate,tako da ako volite takve autore ne sumnjam da će vam se svideti.Meni su sve ove spisateljice okej ali mi jednostavno nisu među omiljenima,a za ovu knjigu sam morala da se nateram da je završim pa nisam ni toliko uživala u njoj,sasvim mlak utisak je ostavila na mene.

it wouldn't be wrong to say that the every strewn piece of my heart has consumed this beautiful piece of art and my urge to write poems has been rekindled once again.
i want stars, strength, and balance in my soul
it’s been a while since they were last
together in me
in this human skin
i am half war
half peace
you are the loudest
and brightest
color of my life
my brushes refuse
to work when
your shade isn’t present
