Review

Two things I loved:

1. Focused on the Individual 🕊

• The collection of poems felt different from Kaur’s previous collections because the poems were based on the individual instead of relationships. I enjoyed this because it felt me feel more in tune with myself.

2. Short 🌻

• The poems in this collection are definitely shorter than the last few collections. As a university student, I prefer shorter material because I don’t typically have more than a few minutes to read some poetry. However, this is completely subjective—keep this in mind if you’re considering picking this collection up!

One thing I wasn't a fan of:

• Some of the material felt unoriginal. I felt that some pieces were general and cliche; I heard them already. I think I needed more reflective pieces in this collection
