a lot of these of these were pretty, buuut i'm only giving it 2 stars because:
1. my queer ass didn't like the amount of heteronormativity in this and i'm a stubborn bitch
(example: "When you look at her,
if you do not feel
blessed to have her.
She is not yours to keep.
She is another man’s blessing.")
sHE COULD ALSO BE A WOMAN'S BLESSING OKAY
OR SHE COULD BE HER OWN FUCKING BLESSING CAUSE NOT EVERYONE WANTS A RELATIONSHIP AND A WOMAN'S PURPOSE ISN'T TO BE SOMEONE'S
2. there was some slutshaming which ew?? let people live, their sex lives are none of your business. if a woman wants to sleep around and have 5 one night stands a week that's her choice and her right.
(example 1: "If they have yet
to fall in love
with your naked soul,
your naked body
should not be available
for them to make love to."
example 2: "If only you picked your man
in the same manner
you choose which selfie to post,
which outfit to wear,
or which restaurant to eat at."
example 3: "Perhaps if you wait
for a husband
and stop treating
boyfriends as kings,
you will no longer kiss the wrong frogs.")
honestly just... wtf
3. there was a lot of christianity and i'm not religious. i didn't have an issue with it but it just didn't really speak to me. i feel like a religious person might enjoy this much more than i did, so if you are i recommend this.
okay end of rant.
so yeah, other than those things i did actually really like some of the poems. while some were problematic (see point 1 & 2) others were very feminist and empowered women, and those were honestly really good in my opinion. idk i have a really mixed opinion about this. it's a really light read so maybe check it out yourself.

Had Some Good Ones But Not Worth the Buy
This style of poetry, with only a few lines, has become a popular trend and when it is done, can be very powerful and meaningful but I felt that these poems were more just insightful things one can say to a friend. I liked the theme of it, trying to empower women and making them feel beautiful and amazing but I felt that the poems weren't really reaching the mark. It was fine, I wouldn't suggest the read to anyone but it was a good idea.

“Maybe you should not have given them so much of you.
Maybe you would have never known a little of what love tasted like if you didn’t, nor would you have learned that you can be enough for someone, yet, too much for
them.”

Her was an amazing read it reminds you of the importance of taking the journey to self-love and healing.

I was dying to have this book, but for some reason had never heard of the elementary level of the poems. The heart behind them is great, but they have a very “roses are red” air about them. Not my taste.
