Only one of the poems in the whole book resonated with me. If it wasn’t such a quick read I would’ve dnf’ed. The kindle edition formatting is horrible, too.

I've also read Kaur's "the sun and her flowers" and I would say I prefer "milk and honey" if you want to read more on love, loss, heartbreak, and self acceptance. "The sun and her flowers" is a poetry collection that is so much more graphic and deals with sexual trauma, which may be a triggering. "Milk and Honey" discussed these topics as well, but it was not the main focus in my opinion nor as detailed.
The 4 was because I'd recommend the book and that .25 was how much it resonates with me, I cried the first time I read it.
Note: I haven't read "the sun and her flowers" in 5 years now so my comparison might be off. I'm just going based off what I remember from reading the two books back to back at that time.
Minor: Emotional abuse, Incest, Pedophilia, Rape, Sexual assault, Sexual content, Sexual violence, Torture, Toxic relationship, Grief, Abandonment, and Sexual harassment
The trigger warnings I put are because there are some hints to these topics in the poetry and they might trigger people even at a mild and non-descriptive mention.jazzy_cat's review against another edition
