dark emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad fast-paced

3.5

The poetry was good, as excepted from Rupi Kaur. I didn't expect to be slapped in the face with so much sadness though. I appreciate the author's raw and personal poems about traumatic experiences, but I just wasn't prepared for something that sad, after reading her two other books. Still a nice read. Some poems were absolutely excellent and others were just okay.

 Love Rupi! This was a quite challenging read, with lots of triggers - but I really enjoyed it, and could relate to some of the poems.

Oh boy, this was not good. My curiosity got the better of me, though, and the audiobook is an hour long. 

Most of these "poems" were cringeworthy, to me. Very few read as poems, at least via audio - they feel more like bits of memoir and I think I would have been more interested if some of them had been fleshed out as essays instead of needlessly stylized (e.g. the one about her dad as a truck driver). Many of the more political/social-justicey ones just read like out-of-context buzzwordy instagram captions strung together, and I really was not compelled to believe their genuineness.
