There are a handful of beautiful poems there, yes. But most of them read like song lyrics. Halsey is definitely an amazing songwriter and maybe it was just a hit and a miss this time. It feels like an unedited version- wasted potential, for sure.

I don't often come across poems that narrate a whole story, but this poetry collection book had plenty of them. The writing was superb and although the rhymes were subtle, they weren't forced. It was actually the title that drew me into reading this book and the content inside did not disappoint. I would mostly recommend these to adult women as most of the poems are relatable to people around their age and also people who are in love/ fell in love.

Halsey’s poetry is wonderfully vivid and ugly. It doesn’t shy from horrible truths at all. This is also why I love them as a music artist, her words are powerful and spellbinding. It translates to the written word just as well.

The reason that it’s not 5 stars is that some of it felt unedited. Also, there was 1 line that was biphobic that kinda shocked me. I know Halsey is bi themself, but still, it felt unnecessary to what I felt the poem was trying to say; commenting on toxic masculinity and relationships with men within the patriarchy.
