Very short read. Most were okay, but a few were great. The split of chapters of the book made sense and it’d be especially nice for anyone who’s gone through a recent breakup.

Of all the books I wish I couldn't relate to, I like this one the most.
So it just takes time?
Doesn't feel like that today
I'll try to believe

This is an interesting collection and while haiku is definitely the vehicle to convey some of the situations the author depicted, the collection would have benefitted from variety. Nonetheless, a number of them were humorous and wry; those are the ones I enjoyed the most.

F*ck You Haiku promised to be a book of funny, clever, breakup poems to help sooth your heartache and or make you laugh. Poems that shout a big middle finger in the air at your ex.
It is separated into the different stages of a break up, with haikus that match.
I was beyond excited for this collection of haikus. As a poetry lover, I love to discover works that will express how I have or currently feel. But sadly it did not hit the spot with me. I am not sure if its poems that I didn't like or if I just am not a haiku person. Honestly, I think it might be both. Either way, I did not connect to it.

Kristina Grish's haiku book all about the frustrations of relationships is a must read. I honestly loved it!
With lockdown and all the fun of being alone, this book was much needed. Are you looking for a way to vent and heal from your problems? Read a book that brings stress to the forefront (in a good way!). Emotions of all kinds relating to breakups and awful times in relationships are expressed in such an incredible way. Poetry is amazing, isn't it?
The introduction and backstory made me so frustrated for Kristina, but I'm glad she was able to overcome the darker times and write this book to get her feelings out. I'm proud of her. People absolutely suck and books like this can connect us to have to deal with some of the sucky times. There's so many good haikus in here - the one about glasses, Seth Meyers, and more. They were all relatable and fantastic!
I really liked this book as someone who dabbles into poetry once in a while. I am definitely not the be all end all of poetry lovers, but I think this book did breakups justice. This is a great healing book! If you love poetry or just want to read the odd poem, this book is for you! It's relatable, well written and just all around awesome.
Five out of five stars.
