I disliked this book.
Okay, okay. I know you're probably wondering why I would read this book when I loathed the first book with every fiber of my being. Well I read this mainly because I didn't want to be the kind of girl who bashed an author after only reading one of her works; and my friends were pushing me to read this.
Well what can I say? This book was a continuation of Love and Misadventures. The girl fell deeply in love when she wasn't even happy with herself yet. She pushed him away and at the same time clung desperately to him. But he still left her. She wallowed in her depression and reminisced about their past. She was neurotic and I didn't like her. It also didn't help that she want to move on.
The poems were the same as the previous book. Same style, same tone, same message, same emotions. The drawings were great but I just got agitated after I read the book. I was pissed when there was a line about only falling in love once in a lifetime and anything after that meant it wasn't love in the first place. Like hello? People have the innate capacity to heal and move on. Normal people are able to love again because love is infinite. Besides, there are different forms of love so why would you state such naive philosophies? I don't like the know-it-all tone of the MC. People love and experience pain differently, you can't make generalizations or give advice like you are an expert.
Anyway, I regret picking this up and I blame my curiosity. *Sigh*.

i swear this is some of the most beautiful poetry I’ve read in a long time.
I got close enough to the end to call this one finished, but the longer I read, the more I lost interest. I’m sure these poems are lovely for someone. Or some other time. But they do not suit my mind right now.

i have a thing for rhymes and this was just full of it and it was mostly about the sad parts of love but wow
The poems were very good, I really liked them but the prose not so much.

There were some really beautiful poems in this collection. I dog eared many pages marking the ones I loved and will come back to over and over. But there were also a few poems that just didn't sit well. They felt awkward, forced and lost their rhythm, or had none to begin with. It may be the style Lang Leav was going for, but I wasn't drawn to it.
