I do recommend it to people who like to explore modern poetry, but don't suggest this particular work to people who struggle/suffer with certain sexual and/or traumatic elements.
Moderate: Abortion, Cursing, and Domestic abuse
Minor: Sexual content

3.0
My only griefs are that a lot of the selections the further I read became repetitive and a little too reminiscent of the sort of “shower thoughts” or “Instagram poetry” of contemporary writing (that’s not necessarily a bad thing, just not my thing personally). In retrospect, I think that this book might be better for some if read in short bursts or non consecutively.
Overall, this was a pretty average read, not bad by any means but I feel that the author is capable of better.
