As we all know, poetry is not something that everyone agrees about it on the same page. This book was on off my to read list for a while until it fell into my hands. First I thought it will be a similar experience to what I had with Rupi Kaur (which wasn’t a pleasant one) but this book did surprise me positively. And even tho it’s not a Neruda or any classic poetry author, I found it lovely to read through and relate to many of the lines. 3 out of 5 stars from me.

when the only pull quote or endorsement that they could get to put on the cover was from the chainsmokers, I knew I was in danger. absolutely no substance at all god bless. I was nervous when I saw how long it is (250 pages is a LOT for a book of modern poetry) and then I read it faster than I've ever finished a book of poetry before because there was nothing to grapple with. no meat.
it's giving 2014 young teenager poetry on deviantART. and I say that with great authority, as a teenager who was writing poetry on deviantART in 2014.
it's not offensive, it just feels juvenile, unfinished, and repetitive. as i read pillow thoughts i reread all of crush by siken to keep my brain active and alert. and to remember what it's like to read poetry that asks something of you, the reader.
