emotional hopeful inspiring fast-paced

5.0

I avoided reading this book for a long time, because I thought it was overhyped. But after reading this poetry, it might be one of my favourite poetry collections. Not all of the poems are great, in my opinion, and some of the pages aren't really poems so much as statements. This being said, Rupi wrote so many things that struck a chord really strongly with me and there were large parts of this book that I couldn't help but meditate on and feel moved by. And isn't that emotional connection the sign of great poetry?

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.

hopeful inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

4.0

this was an interesting mixture of things, starting with horrifying parts, moving to sad to hopeful and changing back again. 
but it was nicely done and actually easy to understand poetry. 

i enjoyed the audiobook and that the author herself read it so that it was in all senses her own voice and story. 

i recommend it if your interested or want to try poetry out.
