It's one of those books that leaves you craving a second read because you can't help the feeling that you definitely missed something.
Visually stimulating in a "type of poetry the girls in Sofia Coppola films would be interested in" but like minus the white perspective. That sounded contradictory but the girls that get it, get it.

I liked half of the poems. Some were very relatable and some were very funny. The middle was fast paced and I enjoyed it. It took me a really long to finish this book.

I liked Limón’s “Bright Dead Things” more than this collection, but nevertheless she continues to impress and move me with her work! I’m in awe of how Limón manages to capture experiences in ways I’ve never thought about, and with a kind of eloquence that is uniquely hers alone.

As the first poetry book I truly read, I really was invested in this collection.

Perhaps contemporary poetry is not for me, but I respect the author's courage to write about themes of such intimate character.
The one I liked the most:
"THE CONTRACT SAYS: WE’D LIKE THE CONVERSATION TO BE BILINGUAL"

Perfection. As if Ada is capable of giving us anything less than…
Her poetry feels necessary and when you read it, you realize that you have lived without it for too long.
