Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur

2.5

reflective slow-paced

---

This collection blends poetry and prose into raw reflections on love, pain, healing, and self-discovery. The simplicity of the language makes it accessible and often relatable, with certain lines hitting with honesty and clarity.

However, much of it feels repetitive and, at times, overly minimalistic—more like fragments of thought than fully developed poems. While the themes are important and resonate with many, the execution didn’t always hold my attention or leave a lasting impact.

Overall, a mixed experience: a few striking moments, but not enough depth or variety to make it a standout for me.
