3.5/5

“All these
Wonderful aching shaking nerves
Heart like it’s about to burst
The truth is you were first.”
“I love the sun for shining on your skin,
I love the wind for blowing through your hair,
I love the coffee for staining your teeth
and warming your palms in the morning.
I would protect you till the end of time.”
“I can’t remember
what it’s like to smell the ocean.
I can’t remember
what it’s like to feel the sea.”

I will start this by saying that I love Halsey with all my heart, and I’ve been a fan of hers a day before she released room 93. I tried to not be bias with my review, but I feel like that would be impossible so here are some of my thoughts:
I enjoyed and appreciated so many of these poems, but I feel that the book as a whole could have been *incredible* with either the omission or the elongation of a few poems...(also I think It can be ~vulgar~ at times but you didn’t hear it from me luv xxxx)
However, I cannot begin to pride Ashley on how vulnerable and brave this book is. It really is so raw and full to the brim with honesty and emotion. I read the book and listened to it and I would *highly* recommend listening to the book, as it flows so smoothly and you can feel every bit of emotion that she put into her writing. I remember a few years ago, when I listened to “a story like mine” I cried and cried and cried and thought; I cannot believe how she was able to go through so much and share it with the world, when it is such a traumatic thing to endure (let alone speak out loud to millions), but I was so grateful to have someone like her speak her mind and tell her stories. I really do think that Ashley’s writing is incredible, I just would have loved if the book was published a little later on so that it would have been closer to perfect rather than a lot of its pages feeling weak. But I really did enjoy this read so much, and I wholeheartedly believe that she is an incredible writer
