super dark and graphic but also really clever and witty. most of the poems are really short so this literally took me about 20 mins to read. i don’t read much poetry but this is the kind of poetry that i enjoy. shoutout to julia for telling me to read this book
tense
fast-paced
This is one of those pieces where I wonder if in a few years the author will read this and think about their work 20 years down the line.
Poetry is subjective, as all forms of writing are, but my opinion feels irrelevant in this instance.

Megan’s book of poetry was… dark. It reminded me more of a diary that you would keep to yourself instead of published for the entire world to read. As eerie as it sounds, I really pray that this isn’t a cry for help. Megan, please take care of yourself- nobody deserves to be tortured and abused. You deserve a healthy, fulfilling and safe love that you can be proud of

Putting aside that she writes from her experience and her past toxic/abussive relationships, some of the poems were cringy and some comparisons felt like she was trying too hard to be deep. However, the book had a few good lines and for the most part I did enjoy it.

This took about 30 mins to read which felt short, even for a book for poetry. I was moreso in awe of what Megan feels or thinks is love and that this book is a cry for help. I fear one day we will hear tragic news about her and point back to this book and say “well…. She said this was going to happen, if only we had listened. A little too late”.
And my heart breaks for that. Certainly it is better to be alone than to be wrapped up in abuse and lost to yourself.
