ninaleeray's review against another edition
2.75
This books discusses some sensitive subjects, some dark and some more lighthearted. I ached for some more encouragement and self love for those who have experienced similar struggles. Some of the poems felt a little flat, However every experience is different and this can very well be the emotion the writer was trying to display. A sort of numbness.

i went through a lot of sticky notes with this (in fact, i decided it was worth sacrificing another book [to a library] as i got my copy from an exchange library and wanted to mark it up). the first section—mind—hit especially hard. some things i needed to hear. not all of them were hits, of course, but i'd say more often than not they were.

I am disappointed and either I have forgotten how to read poetry or the quality of her writing is dropping every time she gets something out.
