konimonogatari's review against another edition
I understand why this book needed to be made but it was so on the nose that I felt like there wasn't much deeper to look for which I don't think was the intention of the author.

My dislike for instapoetry and Rupi Kaur almost made me not want to pick this book up. But I have been following Jasmin's insta for a bit, not for poetry, but because of her political views (honestly, she's helped me reconcile so many things bc of her outspokenness on so many taboo issues in the Sikh community it's not even funny).
Boy am I glad I didn't pass this up.
The majority of the poems are simple and powerful (there were some that I did think could be improved but I was impressed overall). As Australian Sikh a lot of them truly resonated with the soul. I have a newfound respect for the genre of instapoetry, one that I did not have before (I'm snobby when it comes to poetry, might as well admit it). I hope to see more of Jasmin's work in the coming years and I hope she keeps writing excellent content.

akingston5's review against another edition
“there can be healing in what we hold in our hands. in how we hold our two hands. but we must loosen our fists first.”

A quick book of poetry that reminds you a lot of Rupi Kaur and Elizabeth Acevedo in that it explores identity, ethnicity, race, gender, and coming of age against the backdrop of the cultural and political climate we live and move in. It’s got some really powerful lines- see above!
