I Wrote This For You: Just the Words by pleasefindthis, Iain S. Thomas, Jon Ellis
2.0

2 stars.

This book felt... entitled.
Because I just wanted it to be over, it drudged on forever. It took me two days but it felt like two months.
Some of the poems were just SO haughty. I felt yanked between two extremes while reading this. Half the time, the writer missed the lover desperately, and would do anything to meet them again. The other half, it’s like, The only reason I hate you now is because I loved you then.
The blurb was right. I don’t get it. I don’t want to get it. When sending these poems to my best friend, I received the response, ”Remind me to never be that type of ex.”
And you know what, I think that pretty much sums it up.

2/5 stars.
