I knew I wanted a physical copy of this book before I even finished it. I loved how vulnerable and unapologetic this book was. This is a must read for sure.

This is honest, unfiltered, unapologetic, and no f*cking bullsh!t. There is strength, pain, humor, and love in these words.
This collection of poetry approaches topics such as r*cism, white feminism, fat phobia, not feeling queer enough, infertility, and a hell of a lot more in only 85 (Kindle) pages.

This is the type of book you gotta read aloud, the type you either get or you don’t and if you don’t it’s not for you and that’s okay. It’s loud, it’s proud (ain’t no asking for mercy/no regret/no forgiveness either), rhythmic. In the brief 80 something pages, Kapri sets you on fire, excites you, scares you, makes you feel at once alienated and comforted. In short, it’s the best barstool conversation you’ll ever have with a poet.

This book has RANGE. It opens with swaggering, unshakable resilience, but it also traverses deeply vulnerable body shame, sets boundaries with ferocity, snarks at pop culture, and is unflinching in both its examination and celebration of self.
Kapri warns that "this book is not for you," and the further your identity varies from "my Blackness, my Queerness, my Hotness," the higher the likelihood you feelings may be hurt. But as they say on TikTok, write those big feelings down in your journal, don't shout them at her, because Kapri isn't setting out to be anyone's hero but her own.
An amazing read. So glad I stumbled across this.
