Dark, raw and eye-opening. Some of the poems felt like fillers with no real substance but there were quite a few powerful ones. There's also a lot of rage, pain, unresolved trauma and abuse and I feel like this is the author's way of working through them. I loved her introduction and the illustrations.
I was really excited to read this because of Megan Fox but have to admit I'm somewhat let down even though I liked this collection overall. Maybe it's because I still feel an emotional distance between author and reader despite the difficult themes covered in this book, like there's so much more she's not saying and I still don't know the real her.
i didn't realize how much of myself
i was giving away
or how much of me was disappearing
until I turned on a light
and couldn't even find my shadow
but maybe if we use a black light
we could still find all the stains
you left on me

‘And my heart never rests because it does not trust the hands that hold it.’ - Megan Fox
When we watch celebrities on television or social media, we often have a glamourized idea about their lives. When I think of Megan Fox, I think of a badass bombshell. This book shows her vulnerable side. It mentions mental and physical abuse. She dedicates this book to every survivor, including herself.
The poems were very personal, yet I felt a linger of hope. The strength to fight back.
Glad I picked this up!

This was really good and I do not understand the low ratings. But I guess we all have our own opinions. I really hope Megan writes more. I would definitely read it.

Pleastly surprised.
I've been burned by books written by celebrities, but this one is deeper, real-er.
Love the artwork. Love the pacing. Love the absolutely savage comments and poem names. This will make you tense up, and then spit our you drink in a continuous enjoyable cycle.

"you mistook me for a possession
when i was a nuclear weapon all along"
Rating: 3.5/5 ✰
Summary:
This definitely feels like reading Megan Fox's diary, which makes it a bit of a polarizing read since people seem to either love or hate her. While it's criticized for being written in that trendy poetry style similar to what's on tumblr or instagram, that being considered a flaw and not just a medium honestly seems a bit snobby to me. Don't get me wrong, I definitely don't think her writing is perfect - this is her first collection of poetry iirc- but she is still creating something relatable and meaningful.
She covers subjects like abuse, narcissism, fame, love, motherhood, miscarriages, spirituality, and more while surrounding her prose with stunning, mystical artworks by Audrey Kawasaki. This was an absolute delight for me, it perfectly captured the vibes of feminine sensuality, innocence, and mystery. If you like this poetry style, sensual art, Megan Fox, and/or can relate to the themes in the collection, then I'd recommend giving it a try.
Closing thoughts:
Women reclaiming their power will never get old for me ♡
also I got stalked today at b&n while getting this book so it's extra relatable to read today, yay! I love being a woman!!
"you'd be so much more handsome if you'd get an exorcism"
