I don’t think it’s bad, overall, but I don’t feel like it reads as poetry. While some “poems” are inspiring and resonated with me, and you can tell Rupo Kaur really put a lot of raw and vulnerable stories in here, some things read as just cliché words of wisdom. There doesn’t appear to be any structure and minimal flow to the poems, which make it awkward to read, but I still enjoyed and bookmarked pieces where the message was really thoughtful and impactful for me.
