I enjoyed all of these poems, although I felt like some of them were repeats of each other. I feel like men and women alike can relate to these poems. I think my favourite poem was the very first one called "in fall". I love the last two sentences:
and i feel free
i am free from you
I am so interested to read the rest of this series!

Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced copy.
I feel like too much of R.H. Sin's work is repetitive. I feel like he could branch out more from just talking about being hurt in past relationships, especially since he's happily married now. I used to be a bigger fan of his, but frankly, his books are just so tiresome now. It's probably because I'm in a much better place now.

The beginning of this book was promising, if not a little basic. As I hit around 50 pages the writing became short stanzas that were about a sentence in length. A little farther into the book and you see the poems show too much similarity moving away from a theme and appearing more like cheap imitations of one another. Which usually I wouldn’t mind, but the whole book reads to me as something that has been said for so long, that puts a little too much blame on women, and could be an Instagram quote. Didn’t enough it. Might be for someone else, however. I’m trying a bunch of poetry out and hoping to find authors I really enjoy.
What a beautiful collection of inspiring poems. Absolutely love R.h Sin and would recommend this poet to every one who went through a heartbreak.

There were a lot of poems in this book that I really enjoyed, and really connected with. I appreciated that most of them are short, and therefore they pack a huge punch in order to get the point across. This is only my second book of poetry by R.H. Sin, so I'll definitely be looking into more.

this was my first r.h. sin read. i can definitely see why his collections are so popular, but i was not relating to these poems as much as i was expecting.
this collection was very feminist, told from a man’s point of view it talked about how men mistreat women. i am nearly positive many of his other collections, if not all of them deal with this topic as well. i do tab my poetry and tabbed forty poems from this collection. i enjoy reading poetry that i can relate to and as i said i do not find myself relating to as many as i expected but i do greatly appreciate his view on men’s actions. i would recommend this for anyone, of any gender identity. i will definitely be picking up more of his work and hope to find more that i can relate to.

R.H.Sin's poetry is uplifting and fun. It makes my day, even though it is surface level self-help affirmations.
