i liked the majority of it but there was one particular line in one of the later sections that gave me the immediate ick and it ruined it for me.
there's a section where the main idea is how you deserve love and happiness and all these things, and in that section there was a 2 line poem that said something about how you need good people and the line that followed that was "And good coffee. You need good coffee, too" and that one singular line about good coffee absolutely ruined it for me.
that coffee line reminded me of those cheesy signs at craft stores. A "live, laugh, love" mom would definitely see that poem with the coffee comment and want to put a decal of it on a blank kitchen wall. Because of the cheesiness of it, it made the entire collection of poems seem "fake deep" - something a 13 year old would write to seem mature to try to impress their cute english teacher.
