I don't really read poetry, if it comes along with the book I'm reading, I usually skim through them. Until recently when I read "Diary of a young naturalist" by Dara McAnulty, I started considering trying out poetry literature (perhaps I have grew more patient and compassionate nowadays to appreciate the beauty of poems). Then I saw some people that I follow on Goodreads, who also don't read poetry gave this one a high rating, and said that this was a surprising read.
I totally agreed with them, this was indeed a surprising read in a good way. I learned a little bit about slam poetry now. I also learned that I enjoyed this type of storytelling and this way of expressing one's thought, feeling and emotion. Elizabeth's words are powerful and emotional. Her stories are personal and also very relatable. Overall I really enjoyed it. Oh, I highly recommend listening to its audiobook!

I had to read this for school. I wanted to read another book, but this wasn't that bad. It was good, and I could definitely relate to a couple things.
