rupi kaur is one of my favorite poetry authors, so it's not surprising that i loved this book. Iive loved all of her books so far. i just read it in one sitting which took roughly 30-45 minutes. i thouroughly enjoyed it! i tabbed and highlighted my favorite ones (which were a lot of them). i definitely recommend if you like poetry.
While I may have read Rupi Kaur's ‘poetry' around social media for a while now, it's my first time reading an entire collection. I personally felt they were more of intimate thoughts penned down than actual poetry... but then again, is it possible to confine a free form of expression to certain expectations?
That aside, I'm a bit conflicted rating this poetry collection as although there were some ‘poems' that deeply resonated with me, some others were a bit harder to digest as I wasn't able to connect as much.
Rupi Kaur's books are best read as a story rather than as individual poems. Home Body doesn't shy away from anything that's living in her heart or her mind at this point in her life. It is shocking, emotional, and captivating.
