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.

This is such a nice read and I loved each poem. The poems are classified into 4 groups mind, heat, rest, and awake. There are a lot of things covered by these pomes. There are poems that make us feel how everyone have the same sort of problems, productivity issue, self-doubt, asking the opinion of others, how our mind and body feels like different entity.

The poems cover varied topics - self-love, betrayal, love, family, refugee, work, anxiety, self-pleasure, time, environment. The book is so captivating and I was feeling each poem.

I loved this the most,

“I will never have
this version of me again
let me slow down
and be with her -always evolving”

You will surely feel that something was felt by most of the people around. I am sure to recommend it to people around me.

Thank you for such a wonderful book with simple but making us feel things through the words in your poem.
