Rupi Kaur

Milk and Honey

Relatable in every way is an understatement. Her words, pain, and deep connection for others and herself will forever make this my go-to book. Each piece takes you through the human experience of loving and losing and speaks to such profound feelings. Needless to say, I will always be a Rupi Kaur fan.

 Actual Rating: 3.00 STARS 

First attempt at reading poetry and I would say I have a few lines that I came to like. A pretty good first try for this kind of read. Maybe I'll be trying to read more poetry in the future.

More of a 3.5 stars. I really enjoyed the messages that came across to me on my first read through of this book, but I didn't feel like it really enthralled me as much as I had anticipated. This was probably because of the immense hype that has surrounded it and the fact that I walked in with fairly high expectations. However, I do think that it's quite topical and the topics it broaches are very important and should be discussed, and that to the right individual many of the messages will stick for years to come.

Damn. This was SO GOOD. It was sweet and sexy and raw and just gorgeously written. This book is split into four sections and I have to say that the first section didn't really grasp me. It wasn't until I started the second section that I was completely intrigued by her words. From there I had to keep stopping to take a moment to let her words sink in. Some of the poems were so profound I simply had to take a pause. Stunning words.
I'm fairly new to the poetry world but I can't wait to see where all I go from here. I'm already planning on going back through this book today to bookmark specifics that I can find later on. I'm excited to continue on in this genre!

Not my type of poetry, but I can see how this could be cathartic for some people.

Nah just nah, for the most part this isn't poetry AT ALL but shower thoughts, don't try to sell it as poetry. Don't get me wrong there are "poems" that I liked a lot, but the majority of it was pretty bad. I think Rupi has a lot of potential and I praise her for sharing such personal things but she just has to learn to write actual poetry or not target it as such.

Amazing.

Some parts made me teary eyed. Some poems made my heart ache. Some just ~meh~. But the messages are very powerful especially to the women. I feel like all women should read this.

The artwork is absolutely beautiful. I loved this.
