I didn't realize when I requested this book that the poet is an Instagram poet. I'm not really a fan of that style or of poets like Atticus who post short poems about loving yourself or sadness or not giving up (or how beautiful and magnificent some woman is, that's another popular trope) without really using much in the way of metaphor or other poetic tools. This is also another book that puts the title in parentheses at the end of each poem, which I find kind of gimmicky and really annoying for some reason.

For IG poetry, this was one of the better ones I've read. There were a few poems I did like. One example:

He wanted a taste of my sweet core
without putting in any work.

But you know what they say;
no worker bees, no fruit.

(DRONE)

For the most part,though, most of the poems struck me as pretty basic and predictable. An example:

I don't want someone
to put me back together;
I want someone to
love my pieces,
even the jaged ones.

(PIECES)

It's a nice collection, though, one that many women are likely to relate to. It's also very encouraging at times with poems about not committing suicide and the reader's worth. It's likely to be well liked by many folks, especially younger readers.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for the purpose of review.
