If I didn't highlight at least 50% of this book I'll eat my goddamn hat. I want the entire manuscript tattooed on my body in scrawling prose so I can stay infused with this magic everyday. (I might settle for buying a copy to annotate, gifting this to every woman I meet, and tattooing the coven rules on my body instead.)

kj468's review against another edition

I borrowed this from the library because I follow the author on Instagram and quite like a lot of the poems she posts there (in 2022). However, the themes in this book were very different, ones I don’t relate to, and the overall message of the book seems to be “men bad, women victims”. While I’m a strong feminist and firmly believe that there are deeply rooted societal problems regarding the mentality that men at large are taught regarding women at large, this book was incredibly reductive and took the “all men” narrative too far. I wanted to finish this book but honestly it was too depressing and infuriating, and I just fundamentally didn’t agree with the viewpoint the book was taking, so reading the second half didn’t seem like a good use of my time.

It's not as good as her first novel the princess saves herself in this one. She varied her sentence structure and added a bit more depth, but she repeated herself a lot, to the point that it took me out of the poe.. I think Lovelace could benefit if she wrote her thoughts thoughts and feelings as a memoir or as flash fiction instead. I found myself wanting more context for her advice, homages, and quotes, too. 

But it was still good enough to read I'm one sitting, especially since poetry is a genre that I'm new to.
