I did not like this book.
The shorter poems were - at best - a slightly better version of something rupi kaur would have written; that is, they were entirely generic and lackluster. (Genuinely, kaur's popularity stupefies me.)
The longer poems were rambling messes of nonsense. Daley-Ward dealt with abstractions... in abstractions. In fact, the (very few) lines that contained concrete imagery are the reason I'm not giving this book a worse rating.
The book failed to hook me in. I do not think it is worth anyone's time.
