Let's get this out of the way: I have no background in poetry and I don't read poetry often (something I would like to change). So my criticisms are based on just how I subjectively interpreted them and "how they made me feel"
I was between 3 and 4 stars on this one because I genuinely really love the work and message that lovelace communicates in her work. These would be the books I would have given my younger self when I was a teenager and navigating my relationship with myself, my body, my sexuality, and my relationships. I ultimately decided on 3 stars because of the lack of story arc and progression in comparison to her previous series. Additionally, many of the poems at the beginning of the book fell flat for me and I am not sure if it is because I don't have experiences that line up with those themes or because they just didn't deliver those poignant one liners I have become accustomed to when reading her work.

being called fat is not an insult.
being called skinny is not a compliment.
—they’re just sizes.

Cada tanto me encanta leer poemarios. Siento que son lecturas rápidas e increíblemente profundas, y las disfruto mucho.
En este caso, leí Break your Glass Slippers, mi cuarto poemario de Amanda Lovelace. Es una de mis autoras contemporáneas preferidas en lo que es poesía, y no decepciona. Ella logra tomar un cuento de hadas muy conocido, y transformarlo, usando metáforas y logrando igualar a sus lectores a la protagonista.
Creo que leer este tipo de poesía, a veces, me motiva mucho. Son libros que te dejan pensando mucho sobre la realidad de las mujeres en el mundo, a la vez que te dejan con ganas de quererte más, no sé si me explico.
Una gran historia, 4/5, ya quiero seguir leyendo estos poemarios

I did like this book, don't get me wrong. There were obviously quite a bit of poems that I liked, but it definitely wasn't my favorite. The writing was yet again absolutely amazing. I really love Amanda's writing, and I love the feminism in these books. I rate this book 3.5/5 stars, I do recommend it, but I won't read it again.
