I’d like to start this out by saying that I am a poem lover, I love poems, I’ve read the poet X before and loved that book. However, something about this book didn’t do it for me.
I’m aware that this book is shorter and therefore would not go into detail about a lot of things but I feel like it could have benefited from being longer. I love reading books and feeling some form of connection with the character or at least a good understanding and while I totally understood where the mc was coming from, I didn’t really connect to her, so I didn’t really care. It was an easy read, hence why I finished it and I did want to see where the rest of the story went although I would’ve been fine not knowing.
A lot of things go by very quickly, and that’s really the part that bugged me. It felt like every so often we’d get a new character, something happens, they’re gone for a while, they come back, it’s Wtv and so on.
I did have a few quotes in this book that I did appreciate but I’m usually an avid tab user and this is definitely my least tabbed book. But all things said and done I did at least enjoy the writing style, I love how it read like a conversation and I enjoyed the way things were worded. I just didn’t particularly connect with anything or anyone hence my lack of interest but it did have a good overall lesson so this is probably best for maybe like a middle school level class trying to go into poem analysis but that’s really it for me.
I hope you found this review helpful, Happy reading!
