This collection didn’t really speak to me. It reminded me of some of the sorts of things I’d find in a college writing workshop, which weren’t ever my favorite style. I’m picky with poetry though, so take my review with a grain of salt.

Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz has an accessible voice and an attitude that is unapologetic but saying all the things we wish we were brave enough to say and write poems about. Because we've all written the bitter breakup poem, but who's written a "Lit" but Cristin?

Favorites:
"Lit (or to the scientist whom I'm not speaking to anymore)"
"Why I Avoid Eye Contact"
"Warranty"
"Ex-Boyfriend"
"On Why I Hate the Ocean"

This collection of poems took me back to the age the author was when she wrote this collection - an angry, sad, desperate state. Too young to know what's worth pouring words over. Stupid boys.
