There are some good poems, but many contradict and repeat previous ideas in what felt like a short amount of time.
In some poems or lines, the meaning may not be clear or come across as arrogant. For example, in one part of a poem, the author talks about experiencing panic attacks when boys do not look at her the way she desires.
This line felt odd and may be insensitive to some, as it trivializes the real struggles of those who suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. While it may be the case that certain situations like this may trigger anxiety or panic attacks (so I don't want to rule that out), I think it's important to treat these subjects with the respect and seriousness they deserve.
Another poem discusses how some people attribute their unhappiness to things that (from the author's perspective) are seemingly "irrelevant" , such as money, parents, and school. Reading this poem made me feel strongly indifferent towards the author as it showed the author's ignorance towards the problems of other individuals, which might be different from their own.
In saying that there were some really good poems in this book, some I understood while others I was quite indifferent about.

I didn't feel as much emotions as I possibly could with this work. There was one quote that I actually can emotionally connect with, other than that the execution of the events seemed a bit off and mundane.

This was okay. I had fun reading it and some of the "poems" made me feel things.... It's kind of generic though. And I don't know if this is really poetry? It was fine....
