It's true that Rupi Kaur has gained some criticism for her perceived simplicity, with some people considering her work cringy or even untalented. However, I believe there's genuine beauty in simplicity, and not all poetry needs to be elaborate or pretentious to make an impact. Kaur's straightforward style allows her messages to resonate with a broader audience.
Whether you're a seasoned poetry enthusiast or someone new to the genre, there's something in this book that will resonate with you.

Self worth
All of these themes were present in this book. All vital. All emotive. All moving.

this collection is exquisite.
poetry written in freeverse, and with an accessible language isn't below me, it is still above me.
rupi kaur deals with a multitude of topics in here, ranging from love, relationships, family, to her personal experiences with abuse and sa, self-hatred, growing out of the toxicity to love herself, culture, immigration, feminism, and a myriad of other political issues that need to be talked about. i am so glad i read this.

A book of poetry goes through the author's experienced with truma and self hate then recovery and self love.
Some of the poetry us really good. Other parts don't stand out at all. It's a really average book of poems that I wouldn't see myself returning to.
