I ended up loving this poetry collection ever since the moment I saw the cover and the moment I read the first line. 

The collection presents several societal relevant issues specially when it comes to us women, more so when we are at our vulnerable age of growing up. 

It talks pretty much about the way men treat women and women having to stay alert all the time. Well, I want to argue not all men are the same and ready to pounce on women all the time. It could happen the other way around.

I wish the lines represent better comparisons between the one who's being described and the ones compared with.  Girls and women need not have to compare themselves with celebs and models and well known bands and musicians when our lives were seemingly happy and better. 

I didn't like the encouragement to smoke. We don't need the rush.

The collection mostly talks about youth and young love. 

It started out great and strong. But it didn't go well for me towards the end. Too much of unrealistic comparisons and shallow references.

It ended up as something like a rant.

But anyway, life gets better with you expressing your thoughts and feelings.

I like the poetry parts more than the short stories that filled up the second half. It seems a bit juvenile and immature what these stories are trying to convey. The prose significantly didn't leave much impact. All it sounds like is something like rants and complaints. I can understand if it's meant to be let out like that. But I need some better form of expression and writing style. 

Thank you NetGalley for the copy.
