5.0

I love this book. Any time I found myself relating to a poem or a part of it I highlighted it. Even though I can’t relate to everything written, I felt seen reading the things I’ve been thinking to myself translated so beautifully on paper. I’ll definitely be going back to this in the future with a new highlighter and see where I am then.

This books discusses some sensitive subjects, some dark and some more lighthearted. I ached for some more encouragement and self love for those who have experienced similar struggles. Some of the poems felt a little flat, However every experience is different and this can very well be the emotion the writer was trying to display. A sort of numbness.

The poetry was good, as excepted from Rupi Kaur. I didn't expect to be slapped in the face with so much sadness though. I appreciate the author's raw and personal poems about traumatic experiences, but I just wasn't prepared for something that sad, after reading her two other books. Still a nice read. Some poems were absolutely excellent and others were just okay.
