"Milk and Honey" by Rupi Kaur is undeniably one of those exceptional gems. It's very much short concise and is discussing a variety of topics that are critical in every relationship. My favourite part of it was the list of things to do after a break up its a very captivating book

This was a reread—my best friend in college actually lent this to me back in 2017, and it was one of the first poetry books that I had read. This sparked a lifelong love and fascination with poetry and encouraged me to write for myself. It also opened my eyes to very raw and painful hurt that others experience in ways I had not, myself, at that time experienced. I love the sisterhood and the youth you find in these pages. Rereading now, some 8 years later, it is interesting to see the young 21-year-old mindset through my current lens. That’s a beautiful thing about literature—it evolves as we do. Our interpretation shifts and makes room for new perspectives and new connections.

Ho lasciato questo libro, nascosto sotto una pila di altri, per anni, prima di avere la voglia (il coraggio?) di leggerlo. E l’ho letto proprio ora perché volevo liberarmene. Probabilmente lo terrò.
Ho apprezzato molto tutte le sezioni (ad eccezione della seconda “l’amare”, ma probabilmente non dovevo apprezzarla in primis). “Lo spezzare” mi ha ricordato il mio primo amore, con l’unica differenza che sono stata io ad andarmene.
“Il guarire” è molto bella e si sintonizza perfettamente con la me attuale.
Avrei dovuto leggerlo a diciassette anni, ma probabilmente avrebbe fatto troppo male. Sono felice d’averlo letto adesso, che tutto ciò che feriva non ferisce più.
