The Last Time I'll Write About You

Oh, one line remains: "Forgetting is just another form of remembering." Because the more you want to forget about something, the more that brain of yours will give you a glimpse of the memories that you desperately want to forget. And the cycle repeats, until you dull it out.

My 2 star rating is because I personally did not connect with it. This book is a poetry book focusing mostly on break ups. I picked this book up because I have previsously gone through break ups, so I assumed I would feel a connection to this book. Sadly that was not the case for me. However I do think people that are currently going through a break up, might enjoy this.

I think the concept of focusing the book on break ups was a good idea. Unfortunately I felt that it fell flat after a while. The poems blends a bit together, and I end up feeling like nothing really stuck with me. There was a few poems that I felt I had heard before, only slightly different. Some of those poems were:
"How many times do I have to break my heart before I get it right?" 
"I think you loved me
And I loved you
But we never really did
At the same time"

There was two poems in this collection I connected with. I am currently in a long distance relationship, and these two poems reminded me of our relationship. The two poems are called 6AM and STILL. 

In conclusion I found this book to be lacking in originality, and not relatable for me personally. I do recommend this book if you have just come out of a relationship.

Sadly enough I wasn't a fan of this. It's not that there's anything wrong with the poems but it just did nothing to me. I do feel like some people might get a lot out of this so go check it out!

I think it's a perfectly middle of the road poetry collection. It wasn't extraordinary, it definitely wasn't bad. I think she shows a lot of promise however.
