dark reflective fast-paced

2.75

there’s actually some very good poems (Watermelon, Lighthouse.) and then there are some that are so pretentious I feel like gouging my eyes out.

I was not expecting this. Usually artists and celebrities don’t produce the best written work regardless of how talented they are musically or elsewhere. Halsey broke that mold. My pages were stained with tears from reading some of these poems. She talks about love and loss and addiction and miscarriage and motherhood and dreams and the industry— this book moved me and i would gladly give it 10 stars if i could. No gimmicks, just art.

Disclaimer: I'm only a casual Halsey listener and like a few of her songs. Most of these were pretty bad and amateurish, but I think that's to be expected from a poetry collection by a celebrity. A handful were really good, though, and offered some insight into her life that was both moving and very sad. (She has a lot of trauma in her past: rape, abusive relationships, etc.) Her writing has that "lost teenager in love with the wrong people" vibe about it.
