I think this book is written beautifully, but I was still disappointed. The first two books in the "trilogy" had the same voice and specific point of view: how a man should love a woman and how a woman should view herself. "HIM." had a different voice though. It was not just about how to love a man and how he deserves to be loved, it had poems telling him how to love a woman still.

I was at Barnes and Noble with a friend (both avid RH Sin readers) and as she was looking at his newest poetry works, another reader recommended Jeanty. So grateful she did. I love RH Sin, but Jeanty might be my new favorite (or at least gives Sin a run for his money haha). I felt that this collection was the perfect mix of logic and emotion (if that’s even possible in poetry haha). And it was nice to read from the mans point of view. We all have suffered in love and loss, regardless of sex.

i have a bone to pick with this book.
here's the thing.
i ADORED jeanty's "her" books, so i was having relatively positive expectations with "him". to say i was disappointed was an understatement. the beginning of the book was amazing—it shed light on the inner struggles men face that tend to go overlooked. even so, as we progress through the series of poems, it begins to be a consistent thing for the poems to just flat out bash women. don't get me wrong, i am someone who is very adamant about shedding light on not only women's issues, but men's issues as well, BUT. it felt as though instead of supporting and uplifting men through their issues, it was just passing the blame and pointing fingers at women. the poems very much relied on the "not all men" ideology, but implemented the ideology that all women are at fault. EVERY woman does this. EVERY woman doesn't do this. it became whiny and self-pitying.
to be put simply: you can uplift men without breaking women down. this book failed at this immensely.
