My qualm is that I wish it was twice as long.

It is not my place to judge another woman’s trauma and experiences. Pretty Boys are Poisonous yanked on my heartstrings. I really felt for her throughout the entirety of this collection, and honestly had no idea that she’d been through so much. You never know what happens behind closed doors and when a celebrity releases poetry or a memoir, I’m grateful for a peek behind those doors… because truly none of us are entitled to know. This was dark, vulnerable, and all the poems were shorter style micropoems, but I’m into it. 

I’d recommend this one to anyone who enjoys modern poetry about losing and finding yourself after abusive relationships. Good for her for releasing this, she gained a new fan and respect from me.
