I received this a copy through a giveaway on The StoryGraph.
yeah, I can't get past the structure of this book. felt too much like song lyrics and completely destroyed any sense of flow or direction. the themes were okay, but i was so disorientated throughout the book.
can we please retire this poetry style lol

Couldn't really connect with this one — much of the poems didn't read like poems, more like unedited note app ramblings. I wish it had been split into different books, too. I really felt the poems about endometriosis & the child abuse but jumbled together, it all became a bit of a mess.
