This was a beautiful collection. Raw, honest, and holding nothing back. As a woman, there were a lot of poems I could relate to, and I appreciated all the others that I couldn't. The poem “Happy Father’s Day” was one that really spoke to me.

There were a lot of parts that were incredibly straightforward and there were parts where you would definitely be uncomfortable. Though it seems like a reason to take a star or two off it really isn’t. If anything that’s what makes these poems so good and what made this entire book so incredibly moving.
These topics are uncomfortable and sometimes you just have to be straightforward and it’s done well here.
