I like how Rupi's writing is really raw and she puts a lot of her own personal experiences into her writing... which takes bravery and strength to do to put forth into the world.
There were poems in this book that I thoroughly enjoyed and overall this book had potential and there were many important topics covered. However, although I'm all for simplicity because it's true writing doesn't need to be complex all the time, I wasn't really impressed by the frequent very short bits. I'm talking about the like one sentence pages. The more I saw them the more of an eyeroll it lowkey became. I saw a review that said they preferred Rupi's longer form poetry and I agree because most of the longer bits were far more enjoyable than the one sentence long ones.
I think I preferred milk and honey more. It feels bad to say this because I know she puts her heart and soul into her writing but just personally I think this was lackluster. It was overall alright, I guess.
