Very good! Definitely a little heavier of Kaur’s books that I’ve read so far, but I liked it just as much as the other ones. I will continue to read and be amazed by Kaur’s poetry, and I hope for more books to continue being beautifully written and released to help more readers who need to hear that they are not alone. ❤️

 Love Rupi! This was a quite challenging read, with lots of triggers - but I really enjoyed it, and could relate to some of the poems.

Oh boy, this was not good. My curiosity got the better of me, though, and the audiobook is an hour long. 

Most of these "poems" were cringeworthy, to me. Very few read as poems, at least via audio - they feel more like bits of memoir and I think I would have been more interested if some of them had been fleshed out as essays instead of needlessly stylized (e.g. the one about her dad as a truck driver). Many of the more political/social-justicey ones just read like out-of-context buzzwordy instagram captions strung together, and I really was not compelled to believe their genuineness.

Such a fantastic poetry collection. Almost every page is highlighted or annotated. So many of these poems hit home. I am in love with Rupi Kaur's words. Completely in love.

i went through a lot of sticky notes with this (in fact, i decided it was worth sacrificing another book [to a library] as i got my copy from an exchange library and wanted to mark it up). the first section—mind—hit especially hard. some things i needed to hear. not all of them were hits, of course, but i'd say more often than not they were.
