These poems are trying too hard to be edgy and utilize very, very over dramatic verbiage. It isn’t done in an artistic, poetic way, where the words help you move through emotions. It’s more like a teenager just starting to recognize deeper emotions within themselves…while also using a thesaurus. Something about this just felt off for a thirty-something woman to have written, but it’s so hard for me to put my finger on *exactly what that is. Edit to add: Vapid is the word I’m searching for.

Holy shit this was good as fuck and I expected it to be horrible just cause I’m not a huge fan of celebrity poetry books cause the ones I’ve read haven’t been that good. But this!!!! Omg this was actually good af!!

Beautiful. Anyone who has been in an abusive relationship will devour this book as it seeps into their soul. The last 3 pages broke me.
Much of these read like they were written by a teenager discovering a thesaurus. However, "I've always liked serpents" and "boys without mothers" resonated with me.
