4.0
I really enjoyed going through these poems. Every single one of them was thought-provoking. My personal favourite out of the poems in this book is Midnight In The Foreign Food Aisle. It is obvious that Warsan Shire writes from the heart.
Many of these poems were so deep and held so much meaning that I didn't even have thoughts about them, I just sat with them after reading them.
