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.blitz_ramna's review

I also did like the artwork. I thought some of them were lovely. The artwork for the emotional poems were deeply creative and gave the poem more depth. The erotic ones were nicely sketched.

some poems are very raw and detached, others are more kind and self-forgiving.
Every women should read this book. Loved it!

Minor: Pregnancy
The whole first section is about being sexually abused. The rest of it is about daddy issues, sex, toxic relationships, bad breakups, and modern day feminism.stormeno's review
