I've had this book laying around for a while and finally picked it up and finished going through the poetry in one sitting. While some parts are inspiring enough for me to take a note of them, others just remind me of the things we'd put on our MSN status or tumblr quote images that were the hit a decade ago. I see how the book tried to share a connection through the different parts, but it didn't work for me. I'll stick to consuming her work in the small bits on social media instead.

I wanted to read this book because I’ve read a couple of Rupi’s books, and I loved each of them individually. The author has a way of getting in your brain and just mixing up your thoughts like it’s a mixing bowl.  

This collection of poetry is about embraces growth and she walks readers through a reflective and intimate journey visiting the past, the present and the potential of the self. Home Body is a collection of raw, honest conversations with oneself which reminds readers to fill up on love, acceptance, community, family and embracing change. This book is beautifully illustrated by the author with themes of nature and nurture, light and dark. 

I loved everything about this book. Some poems made me smile, some poems made me stop and think, some poems made me feel seen and some poems made me want to cry. These poems are a mixture of brutal truth and compassion. The illustrations are gorgeous and add so much more to these poems. These poems cover a lot of topics that should be discussed more – child abuse, rape, genocide and feminism. This book was inspiring and took you on a journey of growth and I related to parts of this book and wanted to hug the author for the words she wrote on the pages. 

Rupi has a beautiful way to express her thoughts and feelings. I didn’t have anything to hate about this book, it was amazing, and I will cherish this book and will go back to it often.

Many, many poems that I could relate to in this collection. I love rupi’s way of being blunt and open yet still writing such beautiful and haunting poems. I love that poetry can connect people on such an intimate level with only a handful of words.
