I didn’t have high hopes for this book just because I tend to not enjoy the popular poetry, but I was surprised. There’s quite a few poems and even some concepts or imagery that I liked. Overall though, it didn’t blow me away at all. I did sense the emotions from the author, which is good that it came across, but it how the poems were written that missed rhe mark for me.

I was also a bit confused if this book was chronological or just a collection with a theme. There were parts that felt like both. And for a book that focused on a few different relationships, it could be jarring which one the author was talking about. I did relate to some of the issues between Lovelace and her mother. But the book had a love story too? There was just A LOT packed into this book and I felt like things jumped around.

All around not a BAD book. Not one I’ll probably remember though.
