Review:
This is beautifully written, emotionally captivating, and I loved how raw and real she was in her poetry. Don't get me wrong I loved the collection as a whole but The Hurting and The Loving were my two favorite chapters of this book. Also, the drawings were really perfect for the poems they were attached to.
I only gave this book 4 stars because of a personal preference. When I read poetry, I like to read full or mid page poems and there were a lot of 3 liners or page fillers. But these page fillers were done so well and filled with such emotion that I could turn a semi-blind eye to it.
I have no other words to describe how amazing this collection of poetry is just read it!
**Just be aware there is sexual content in this book and I know that's not everyone's cup of tea.**
