Unfollowing You by Komal Kapoor

3.0

Inconsistent-that is the word that keeps popping into my mind when I try to assess my feelings about this book. Some of the poems I found to be really good, and I appreciated the broad story that was told; I think it is something everyone can relate to. However, while I found some of the poems to be nice, they were interspersed by many poems such as:

Time with you now feels
like a trip to Taco Bell:
great in the moment
regretful the next day.

As some other reviewers have mentioned, this book reminded me of someone I was in high school and college. It felt juvenile. It felt like the author was trying too hard to be relatable. Everyone has to learn how to love themselves and get over someone that ultimately doesn't care about you, but I thought the poetry itself could have been much better and more consistent.
