She Must Be Mad by Charly Cox

4.0

I don't read much poetry, and would in no way consider myself knowledgeable enough to rate a collection in terms of how 'good' it is. But what I do know, is that it's very rare that I find a poet I can fully understand, let alone connect with, but I felt both of these things whilst reading this collection.

I wouldn't go as far as to suggest she's 'social media's answer to Carol Ann Duffy', but I think these poems will definitely appeal to many a millennial. Themes of love, mental health, body image, and even in one case - Trump, fill out this collection of poems ranging in form from traditional verse, to prose poetry.

Irregardless of this being a collection of poetry, I think this would appeal to fans of people like Lena Dunham, Caitlin Moran and Dolly Alderton. I've never read Rupi Kaur, but I would take a punt that fans of hers will like Charly Cox too.

Thank you to HQ for providing an ebook copy through Netgalley for an honest opinion.
