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.
