I enjoyed reading this but the experience could've been better.
I read this while also listening to it at the same time which allowed me to experiment how Halsey actually meant the poems to be read instead of just providing a rhythm for them myself.
Halsey is actually, from my opinion, a great songwriter and singer and a lot of her poems were reminiscent of her songs for me. However, some of the poems in here did seem to me to diverge from the common theme and mood of the collection. Additionally, the audiobook version does add or skips words as well as excluding one whole poem from the narration.
