challenging dark reflective slow-paced

3.5

There is something eerily fantastic about this book. The poems come at me like a semi while reading. I loved the theme of exploring and discussing true crime. Some of poems had the eerie feeling and left me on the edge while others fell flat for me. This book was a solid 3.5 out of 5. I enjoyed it for the most part but at times it was hard to make it through the pages. I good but slightly uncomfortable (in a good way) read.

dark emotional reflective

3.25

My favorite poems were the ones involving Jordan and the summer. I also liked the poems about Aileen. I don't quite like true crime and stories about dead girls, but this wasn't so bad. 

Also, poems that are written as though they are a stream of consciousness seem to be trying too hard to achieve that effortlessness.
