3.5

Some of the poems had quite strong imagery and hard-hitting lines that made me want to reread them, whereas, others felt a bit kiddish and straight-forward. I liked the range in themes with the consistent underlying story (I think this was something that was done really well) and there were some pages towards the end that conveyed emotion and linked the book together very effectively. But, I felt it was a bit too slow to begin and a bit too quick to resolve.
