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.
