This is my second read through of this book. I would definitely recommend it to people who enjoy reading poetry. There is a rawness to the way the words are written and how the story is told between the sections of the book that I find so sad yet hopeful. It is probably also very relatable to lots of women just making their way through life. It is bittersweet.

I've also read Kaur's "the sun and her flowers" and I would say I prefer "milk and honey" if you want to read more on love, loss, heartbreak, and self acceptance. "The sun and her flowers" is a poetry collection that is so much more graphic and deals with sexual trauma, which may be a triggering. "Milk and Honey" discussed these topics as well, but it was not the main focus in my opinion nor as detailed.

The 4 was because I'd recommend the book and that .25 was how much it resonates with me, I cried the first time I read it.

Note: I haven't read "the sun and her flowers" in 5 years now so my comparison might be off. I'm just going based off what I remember from reading the two books back to back at that time.

This book was an ode to life. A true soliloquy to Kaurs life experiences.

I really enjoyed this and how it was like walking down a path and following her journey. It’s heartbreaking at times, but for me sometimes all too relatable. I think it’s a vital read for others as it meaningfully covers love,loss,trauma,abuse,healing and femininity.

The titles almost brutal. The hurting. The loving. The breaking. And finally the healing. Blunt but a statement, each chapter flowed and was emotive. I think it’s a great entryway to poetry for those who’ve not read it before, but one to be mindful of with how some of its topics can be painful to read.

Not
poetry.
Just words
and cringy
“art”
Written like this.

With drawings
That
My
12 year old
Cousin
Could draw.

Such a waste of paper.
Think about the planet 🪐
