I love the cover art, and I can tell that Halsey really loves her art and she actually cares about poetry, but it’s just not a collection that really worked properly.
I’ll be keeping it and re reading some of my favourite poems, but I do feel that the collection as a whole is very weak. I counted all the poems and the ones that I liked out of them and it was 26/82. That’s really bad but I don’t hate this collection.
I have plenty of critiques but I did enjoy it. There were issues but I actually like it, I stand by everything I’ve said but it was fun and punchy.
6.7/10. I am far too obsessed with poetry lately.
