dark emotional inspiring sad medium-paced

3.5

Less impactful rereading. Some poems do feel pithy and more like facebook status. But there are some good lines and it is full of heart.

To be fair, I’m not really a fan of romance poetry. I was going out of my comfort zone and became discomforted.

Only one of the poems in the whole book resonated with me. If it wasn’t such a quick read I would’ve dnf’ed. The kindle edition formatting is horrible, too.

Pretty cliche and painfully cisheteronormative at times. Beautifully written though.

Most poems are surface level, unoriginal, 3-5 lines to describe one feeling or thought with no subtlety. However, I do give an extra star for the handful of poems that are sufficiently well crafted and intentional. In these, she makes use of literary devices nicely and does invoke a strong response from the reader. I connected with the subject material and blew through it in one short sitting, so it felt worthwhile albeit not life changing.
