the .5 for all the cute little ideas i liked (there’s like 4..) everything else made me cringe.
the only thing i’ve written all over this book is ‘lovely concept, BAD execution

You must think I'm really mean to go back to this book I read last year and leave a one star review now.
Yep, I am mean I guess. I leave reviews for books that have especially marked their way into me (positive or negative). And let me just say this book was all kinds of negative.
Every page sent my eye rolling that I think I can see my brain stem from where I was. Found myself saying "UGH" a thousand times.
Listen, I'm by no means a writer or a poet and maybe I'm just not cultured of sophisticated for this kind of thing but damn, this was terrible. I believe my 5 year old son could do better.

1. It’s like Tumblr poetry. It looks good on the page, it sounds good when you read it, and makes you feel things on a surface level.
2. I would definitely reread it.

I can totally imagine these thingies on tumblr. But to call them actual poetry, to print them out and preserve them for the future rather than just read them among many others on social media... that's a different story.
ps. I loved the prose poems much better.

In a embarrassing way, it reminded me of my own writings as a teenager. Ones I am now too shameful to share. The forced rhyme for the sake of rhyme, and the short prose with a hit or miss. It is also an unsettling feeling to see a work similar to that I could produce as a teenager is being critically acclaimed and winning prizes and getting widely published.
There were some poems that landed with me, I did not absolutely hate it all, but a lot of them (especially in the beginning and towards the end) made me cringe and felt as amateur as what I had on my tumblr blog.
