Feels very Instagram poet. Some parts of this did speak to me and I can tell the poet truly grapples and I offer my condolences but it felt preachy

It's "Instagram poetry," but I like that style. I like that it's relatable. I like that it's accessible. I even got choked up and cried over one of the poems. I also appreciated the fact that there is a trigger warning page at the front of the book. And I enjoyed being able to read it in one sitting.

I did ding a few points off because I hate it when there is just one sentence on a page. I feel like those would be better off in a separate section titled something like "Affirmations" or "Reminders."
