Some of these poems felt a little generic and like they were from tumblr 2012, but there were a few hidden gems in there.
The experiment of the poem is compressing the emotional arch of a failed relationship into the course of an entire day. Each stanza is time stamped as the day progresses. As a thought experiment, this frame has a lot of potential but is poorly executed here.
Maximum schmaltz. Cringy, teen-age angst stuff. Self-abrogation in favor of some nameless, faceless idealized love interest. I kept hoping there would be a turn toward self-awareness and deeper layers of meaning would be exposed. I kept hoping the poem would actually be a clever address to a younger self. Alas, no. The pronouns don't work out in that direction. The surface is all you get.
I read it through because curious but not engaged. Do not recommend.

“I indulge myself in a book because diving headfirst into another fantasy is so much more peaceful than living in this reality.”
Put this on my headstone. I’m not sure I’ve ever related to a white more.

Haré una review, comentarios y demás, hasta que la persona que me lo prestó lo lea.
although i did not read the entire book in one sitting, i truly loved the format of the book. it felt like it went from loving the man, to having her heart broken, to being broken, to slowly picking herself up, and finally to loving herself. it was beautifully written poetry and held a lot of emotions
