Dear Boy by Emily Berry

1.0

Very confused by this collection of poems. You coud easily categorise many of them as "fake deep": Berry makes an attempt at creating something with layers that the reader can't truly find because there aren't any other layers. Many of these poems fell really flat for me or incredibly disturbing (the ones about the Doctor... still wondering what this was all about to be honest) and I found it hard to truly understand what they were about. Some of the poems have this typical cliché straight romance kind of vibe. I truly believe this collection wasn't for me.
