dark emotional reflective sad slow-paced

3.0

There were some poems that I really enjoyed reading, there is something comforting within the depressing poems.  There were a few that I didn’t care for but the poems seemed blunt and to the point.

“i am the first woman in my lineage with freedom of choice. to craft her future whichever way i choose. say what is on my mind when i want to. without the whip of the lash. there are hundreds of firsts i am thankful for. that my mother and her mother and her mother did not have the privilege of feeling. what an honor”

I felt so seen from Rupi’s collection to her mother. 

The book as a whole had lots of honest & relatable lines from a broken soul to true love to family to finding self confidence. Let the sunshine on your flowers 🌻 

the only thing I don’t like from modern poetry or at least this author is when one sentence that isn’t that profound takes up a whole page “the road to changing the world is never-ending” doesn’t need an entire blank page. Some of the pages didn’t even have a cute drawing to makeup for the lack of content 😕

An incredibly fast read. 

A book of poetry goes through the author's experienced with truma and self hate then recovery and self love. 

Some of the poetry us really good. Other parts don't stand out at all. It's a really average book of poems that I wouldn't see myself returning to.

I liked it, but all the poems felt the same. There wasn't much variation, but the poems themselves were very good.
