Milk and Honey

They hype around this book has been a bit intense. It tries to be life changing yet simplistic at the same time, which is a hard mantle to always be carrying. If I wasn’t expecting so much I think I would have enjoyed it more. There were definitely a few poems that deeply resonated with me but a lot of the book didn’t, which is fine, as it obviously it about a very unique experience. ( )

Such a good confessional poetry read. I loved this book, and loved sharing it with my youngest sister recently, who has been going through a rough time and figuring out important things in her life. I wasn't entirely in love with the art under my own aesthetic loves/likes, but I am glad the artist is expressing herself in all these ways. ( )

I try to express only my most honest opinion in a spoiler free way. If you feel anything in my review is a spoiler and is not already hidden in spoiler brackets please let me know. Thank you.
This is a collection of poems about love and loss and being a woman.
It was short. Thats the first thing I think when I think of this book. Honestly, I don't think poetry is really my thing. But I gave it a shot. It wasn't bad, and some of it was even uplifting. But I don't see myself persuing much poetry in the future.
How I choose my rating:
1* Did not finish, or hated it but forced myself to finish.
2** Didn't really like it. Didn't hate it but not sure why I finished it other then for some closure.
3*** I liked it. I had some issues with it, but as a whole it was good. I probably won't reread again ever, but there is a chance I might finish the series. (If part of one) But if not it's not a huge loss.
4**** I really liked this book. Maybe not a work of genius, but highly entertaining. I might reread this again, and I will finish the series. (If part of one) I would recommend to those I know hold interest in this books content.
5***** I loved this book. I found little to no issues with it at all. I will definitely be rereading this and probably more than once. I will finish the series and reread it multiple times. (If part of one) I will recommend this book to EVERYONE!!!! ( )

I know a lot of people like reading about love and sex and relationships but I prefer history and science and psychology. This book was simply not my thing. ( )
