Some of the vignettes were good, and I love how she packs so much thought into such few words. But overall, this just didn’t click with me.
It’s also tough to really rate this because there’s like almost a pretentiousness to this. Very high school slam poetry-esque. Very manufactured. But it also has really good moments. It’s a what came first, chicken or the egg, situation for me.
I do feel inspired to write. Not about my own experiences like this, I think I’m just a fan of vignette/flash fiction now.
