Loved this a lot.
I received this book via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. And I am going to be honest. I liked R.H. Sin’s first book of poetry, but I feel like everything after it is just a carbon copy. I can’t bring myself to get through this one.

I have never cried so much due to a poetry collection. It was by far the best poetry collection I have ever heard, I have never felt more attacked but also so heard in this book! IT WAS SO GOOD!

The poems in this book felt very jumbled, it would have been helpful if they were separated into categories or sections with similar themes. Personally I found the titles distracting, especially the ones with time or dates, very rarely did they add to the writing. That being said there were several poems that I really liked and/or related to and several lines that resonated with me.

this is not poetry- if u r looking for poetry, look elsewhere, for there r maybe 3 or 4 good poems in here.
the rest feel like single sentence rants... & some poems were abt critics not appreciating his art & it just ruined the mood.
honestly, i feel like this was a huge waste of paper. it feels like the poems were only written to get pages & form a book- otherwise they weren't v economical or valuable. & they seemed to be all over the place!
for instance, on one page was a vvvv erotic poem, & on the following page, there was a poem abt telling children to be leaders.... what???
if u r going to write like this at least have some sort of organization... like sort it into 4 different parts. this was just a mess & poems would offset the mood of other poems.
there were some poems i liked, otherwise i would give it a one star. there were maybe 3 or 4 good pieces of work in here. other than that, i wouldn't recommend.

Wow this was so much worse than I had anticipated! Like it was somewhat okay at the beginning, like not written very well or anything, but still tolerable. Then it just kept getting worse, like how there are literally over 400 pages and he manages to repeat the same sentiment dozens of times, and like doesn’t even change the wording? I’m pretty sure the same sentence is in there like 10 times. Then there’s the structure, like most of the book was about love and stuff but then there were just random other ideas tossed in there—stuff about equality and OCD or whatever (which are totally fine ideas but why just randomly in the middle?) and then there was like one random poem about his mother? How does this even fit? Okay then I’m pretty sure one of the poems about “loving whoever or whatever you want” is implicitly condoning beastiality?? Seriously that’s what it sounded like. And then there were a handful of poems calling out the haters but they were like super narcissistic and basically slammed people for having an opinion on his work because they didn’t have the success that he has had. Like rly what da heck. But the part that brought it down to one star for me was the title poem which essentially was about mental illness, but he basically glamorized it and said OCD/depression made people beautiful. Like ok I get the sentiment but that is really not the best way to put it buddy. Maybe someone somewhere relates to the poems in this book, but for me it was written like a third grader and arranged like one, too. It just made me more mad than anything.
