Pillow Thoughts by Courtney Peppernell
3.0
Honest truth is that there may be some bias on the fact that Rupi Kaur is my goddesss and I may have a tendency to compare all else to her.
At some point I do believe that I will need to read these poems as Courtney intended - to read them when the emotions that inspire them are present, which might make them more enjoyable. Some of the poems found within Pillow Thoughts are beautiful and unique, that truly showcase her voice. Yet simultaneously there also lie a large quantity of poems that blend into the background. With no merit of their own - just 'not right'.
I just can't handle the whole rhyming poetry thing. Just not it for me unfortunately. I prefer the more of the top of your head, random thoughts thing. A future re-read could potentially change this rating, but for now if you are looking for a quick read then I suggest this to do the trick.
