The Sun and Her Flowers. Il sole e i suoi fiori

I read this back-to-back with Milk and Honey, so I'm not really focusing on the individual pieces in each. While I liked hearing more about her family, and the more individualized parts of her work, the structural flaws in Kaur's work were still too prevalent for me to really enjoy her pieces. I've seen her spoken word before, and it was good, but I won't be picking up anything else by her in the future.

Rupi Kaur has put out a beautiful collection of poetry! I could not put the book down as I was reading! I read it all in one sitting! I cannot wait for even more!!

DID NOT FINISH

DNF.

Didn't bother to get too far into this one so I won't leave a rating. I wanted to give Rupi Kaur a second chance after the awful time I had reading Milk and Honey. It seemed strange for me to hate something so much when it had been received by the public with quite a bit of praise. Unfortunately, I caught on pretty quickly that this collection would be very similar.

A few of the poems had a slight impact on me- not because I found them to be successful poetry, but because the ideas shared made me think. However, most of the collection is still what I would consider tumblr quotes and scribbled drawings.

If you enjoy her work, great, but I think I've confirmed for now that Kaur just doesn't suit my taste.
