I picked this book up off the new books shelf at the local library. It was in the nonfiction section, and with its title I thought maybe I was looking at a self-help book about being a happy introvert. I was in for a surprise when I found gorgeous poetry and beautiful illustrations. I rarely read poetry, and even more rarely enjoy reading poetry (a personal shortfalling). These poems captivated me immediately. I finished this first reading very quickly. But this will not be my last. I plan to order her trilogy of first books and savor them. The poems are challenging, and some are very graphic. It's not a "happy" book, but how it all comes together offers a deeper joy than simple happiness.

I just. WOW. I’ve never been a poetry person but reading Rupi Kaur’s Home Body may just make me one yet. The raw emotion with which she writes is gut wrenching and oh so relatable.
