Yesterday I Was the Moon by Noor Unnahar

This is just an honest review about how I felt.
I'm a massive modern poetry fan. "Insta Poetry" as some like to call it.
I like the millennial angst; I am said millennial.
I like the socially acceptable dive into sadness; I often need something to tip me over the edge so that I can deal with my issues.
I like the stark reality of relationships in poetry, written in ways that makes you examine the feelings you may have felt once; because relationships are hard and I need to feel like someone understands.
In saying that, I don't think I like this one. Not because I didn't relate to any of it, I did. On occasion I felt connected to the words. I just didn't like the overall simplicity of the book. I didn't like that some of the poems conveyed the exact same message, only written differently.
I think the cover and the title is what initially caught my attention, but I don't think this will become a favourite.
