I have mixed feelings about this poetry. I had heard amazing things about it and I'm not going to lie, I freakin loved the title. So I think my expectations were a little high for what I actually read. The poems were honest, creative and deep. But they didn't hit me the same way other poems have. I liked some of them and I liked the message. But there was a sense of melodrama I didn't like. And they were SO short, it was almost hard to feel them. There were maybe only two poems that really made me pause, otherwise I just kept reading. And again, I enjoyed them. I thought about the poems and what they were saying but hardly any made me stop, breathe, contemplate. That's what I look for in poetry and I didn't get enough of that in this collection. So three stars it is. I liked the poems. I liked them message but it didn't impact me, hit me in the center of my chest, interrupted my thoughts, like I wanted it to.
