very informative and reflective on my personal life. the part that stood out most was def the "Bodies Lost in History" abt women being non-consensually used for medical practice and abt forgotten/unknown women:(( i liked the mentions of growing up in blackgirlhood tho, very nostaligic. idk overall a very fine book, i learned, i teared up, i smiled, i empathized, i sighed. id reread a few of the poems if i got the chance i think. jasmine's a great writer and knows how to grab your attention with descriptive storytelling and rlly knows how to set a scene which i appreciate.

 This book played with me HARD. 

Some poems made me quite literally tear up while others felt Rupi Kaur-esque so to say I got literary whiplash from this collection is an understatement. Overall I think the words were beautiful and encapsulated the author’s experience very compellingly, I just wish it had gone through some more editing to filter out the filler. When I talk about the filler I mean poems like “Sharp”, they take away from the ones like “Birthing children not her own” and “Trans-panic”. 

Still I think it was pretty accessible and an enjoyable (as enjoyable as trauma can be) and important read.
