4.5
This is a dark, emotional poetry collection. It is a raw exploration of depression and living. Personally, I am no stranger to depression, insomnia, and self-criticism in myself and my close friends. This collection felt like an act of opening up and being vulnerable.
I really liked the variation in the structures of the poems. The overall collection flows well and makes sense together. If you can handle the material's themes (content warnings are provided by the author), I would recommend this book.
