2.75

This books discusses some sensitive subjects, some dark and some more lighthearted. I ached for some more encouragement and self love for those who have experienced similar struggles. Some of the poems felt a little flat, However every experience is different and this can very well be the emotion the writer was trying to display. A sort of numbness.

Such a fantastic poetry collection. Almost every page is highlighted or annotated. So many of these poems hit home. I am in love with Rupi Kaur's words. Completely in love.

emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad

4.0

i went through a lot of sticky notes with this (in fact, i decided it was worth sacrificing another book [to a library] as i got my copy from an exchange library and wanted to mark it up). the first section—mind—hit especially hard. some things i needed to hear. not all of them were hits, of course, but i'd say more often than not they were.

Beautiful, raw, deep there’s no way to describe how I feel about these poems. They really make you think about yourself and reflect.
