I liked the concept of this book, but the some of the poems are repetitive and not much stood out to me. Overall, a short easy poetry collection.
You say you want us to survive the flames, yet you feed the fire every time you walk away.

This has a neat premise, but the actual content seems generic.
Gracias a que un día dije "voy a leer ese poemario llamado milk and honey a ver qué tal es" empezó realmente mi gusto hacia la poesía. Por fin pude abrirme a la idea de leer este tipo de contenido, lo cual me llevó a leer otras autoras como Caitlin Kelly y Courtney Peppernell y ahora a Makenzie. Y lo disfruto, son lecturas ligeras que me ayudan a descansar antes de empezar otra novela. Este, como los otros poemarios, tiene poemas muy lindos que resalté y guardé y probablemente postearé en mis estados de whatsapp desde hoy. Como los demás me gustó.
Sin embargo, y este es mi problema con los poemarios que he leído que no son de la autoría de Rupi Kaur (insisto, es algo mío), siento que casi todas las páginas van de lo mismo. La mayoría de los poemas siguen la temática de una pareja que les rompió el corazón y los dejó destrozados, a la cual extrañan pero ya están superándola, pero no del todo, y así. Estoy consciente de que es un tema que sirve mucho de inspiración para escribir, y que también hay otros poemas en estos libros que van sobre amarse a sí mismo y disfrutar la vida, pero después de los primeros libros es un tema que se me hace repetitivo. Así que, por esta razón tan subjetiva, le doy 4 estrellitas. Pero en sí, me gustó, así que lo recomiendo a quien le gusten los poemas y quiera una lectura ligera.

This one didn't resonate with me as much as I hoped. While the author's words aren't bad, I felt like much of what she said I had already heard before and even within the book she was saying the same thing over and over again. The book felt long as I kept thinking "didn't she ready say this?" The poems seemed to have no natural flow. Most volumes like this have a simple outline of "love" "lost" "reflection." This was simply a muddles mess of mostly lost and randomly love and not in a way that made sense. Maybe that was the point but honestly it was just confusing and jarring to follow...
Some of the poems felt like they were trying to be poetic but I wasn't quite sure what it meant (such as "you are the sand that doesn't stick when I am dry and sad"). And some were straight up just her explaining something so it felt like a textbook or Instagram post rather than a poem.
(And I was displeased with the author taking shots at the girl she was left for when there was no indication the girl had done anything wrong. Just because you were left doesn't make you the galaxy and her merely a star. I would have preferred being brought into any history if there was any, rather than one girl simply taking shots at another because of the actions of a boy. Place blame where it belongs, no more if this girls pitting themselves against each other over a boy. Yes, this complaint is probably longer than the actual poem but it bothered me)
It wasn't a bad book and I'm sure it will resonate with others. It simple didn't resonate with me...
