There’s some good work in here, especially around heavier topics like assault and body image, but there’s also a bunch of edgy shit and Halsey’s trademark theater kid dramatics.

It's cool to see the relation between these poems and the lyrics on her Manic album.

Despite note being an avid reader of poetry I really enjoyed this book. As a Halsey fan it added a lot of insight into her life and music and made me feel like I was getting a special preview. I enjoyed the words and I resonated with some of the poems. Some felt confusing and missed the mark but it was still interesting to read about such experiences. Some of my stand out poems were Wish You The Best, The Tourist, Onanism, Eight, The Painter, Antagonist, Fun Girl (I think my favourite) and A Story Like Mine (search her performing this at the womens march, I cry every time). I think this book would be great to return to as life goes on and see whether I read anything differently. I would recommend this for fans of Halsey and poetry lovers but please consider trigger warnings before reading as there are very dark themes discussed.
