I'm rating this a 3.5 for now, but I'd love to reread this when I have a bit more experience with poetry and couplet formats! I do like how Miller takes the reader on the journey of love and change ans self discovery - the format is just new to me.

i liked this one more than i was expecting, and the writing is much better than what i thought it’d be based on the blurb (i was thinking it’d be more rupi kauresque). i am still a little raw from my own breakups and negative polyamory experiences (so…just normal polyamory experiences lol) so it was kinda hard to read for that reason lol. but it’s quick and has nice imagery :)

Would read again. Beautiful writing style. Coming of age poetry for your 20s, doesn’t all get solved, just an exploration of change and evolution.

I am not a big poetry fan, so I feel a bit guilty rating this as low as I did, but it just wasn't for me.

like if Wendy Cope had written An Amorous Discourse in the Suburbs of Hell (very high praise, indeed).
