I know ?
@Flora I know xd
i didn’t really see it as poetry but still was something pretty to read and decent to have on my shelf ??♀️
Me, I thought it was really fake and just a cheap effort.
Mediocre high school poetry
It seemed like she tried too hard to sound deep. Felt like what they actually are a bunch of crowd-pleasing Instagram posts printed into a book.
I found it vacuous and not particularly well-written or moving. The number of younger women who find it “the best thing I’ve ever read – so intensely moving, etc” have me feeling despair… ?
Despair at hearing them say, not simply how moved they were – that is truly subjective, but that it’s the best thing they have ever read –
I like it and take it for what it is. Self expression and release.
Disappointed
Yes though I liked the title ?
I loved it because I feel that the common language really makes it more relatable. I love poetry but sometimes I feel too distant from the language. Many of us who are not poets or writers I feel can look at it and think I don’t have to analyze this and pick apart every word to know this person is talking about love, abuse, and growth. I have felt these things but not in the same way that Shakespeare or Emily Dickinson felt them. Probably more like how Rupi Kaur feels them.
I am not really an expert in that genre but this book made me understand the how the victims of abuse feel. Not entirely no, but I like how it’s simple and easy to understand. Some of her poems are sort of confusing but nevertheless it’s still worth it.
I really liked some of the poems and didn’t have a problem with the easy language – I think in a way it makes the emotions more relatable. Still, I wouldn’t say I enjoyed the book as a whole.
