An entire poem just about "you don't NEED a man you WANT a man" was just a repeat of things I've been hearing for years.
The concepts in this poem, especially when it rolled around to the feminism aspects, just didn't wow me. I expected I would love every page of this, but I only marked 4 poems. Some poems are just basic sentences with random skips that have no real point, they aren't too lyrical, and it's literally just like reading a normal sentence. I'm not sure why people go crazy about this book and say it's gorgeous and it's their favorite book, because honestly, it's very plain. If I could sum up my thoughts about this book, it would just be, "Oh." YouTube | Blog | Instagram | Twitter | Facebook | Snapchat get likes on this review daily and for a long time i've felt like a 3-star review was too generous so I lowered it to 2 today, which is more accurate in hindsight. Not the best experience, but an experience nonetheless. There's barely a handful of words per page and just vast amounts of white paper. Like the author took a really pretty sentence and then hit enter a lot.Īlso, maybe I'm a hypocrite here (just based on the sheer amount of books in my house) but I kind of felt bad for all the unused page space in this book. I admit I'm no expert, but the words seemed more poetical than poem. This whole book felt like those instagram quotes minus the inspirational photograph. I'm not normally a poetry person and this book did nothing to convince me otherwise.
