Too many pages for a few good lines.
I thank God every day that I'm not a millennial.

I don't read much poetry, and would in no way consider myself knowledgeable enough to rate a collection in terms of how 'good' it is. But what I do know, is that it's very rare that I find a poet I can fully understand, let alone connect with, but I felt both of these things whilst reading this collection.
I wouldn't go as far as to suggest she's 'social media's answer to Carol Ann Duffy', but I think these poems will definitely appeal to many a millennial. Themes of love, mental health, body image, and even in one case - Trump, fill out this collection of poems ranging in form from traditional verse, to prose poetry.
Irregardless of this being a collection of poetry, I think this would appeal to fans of people like Lena Dunham, Caitlin Moran and Dolly Alderton. I've never read Rupi Kaur, but I would take a punt that fans of hers will like Charly Cox too.
Thank you to HQ for providing an ebook copy through Netgalley for an honest opinion.

Reminded me of the poems I wrote after a breakup at 17 and the trials and tribulations of pre adulthood. Very sweet and often funny. Interesting prose in many of the poems.
