challenging dark emotional sad fast-paced

 This book played with me HARD. 

Some poems made me quite literally tear up while others felt Rupi Kaur-esque so to say I got literary whiplash from this collection is an understatement. Overall I think the words were beautiful and encapsulated the author’s experience very compellingly, I just wish it had gone through some more editing to filter out the filler. When I talk about the filler I mean poems like “Sharp”, they take away from the ones like “Birthing children not her own” and “Trans-panic”. 

Still I think it was pretty accessible and an enjoyable (as enjoyable as trauma can be) and important read.

Real real good. Definitely recommend the audio book as it is read by the author and you can hear the emotion in her voice as she talks.
