Instapoetry. Maybe it's me but here are my thoughts!
A gentle reminder that this is just my opinion and that if you love this author you should try the book out for yourself! The good reviews are overwhelming so rest assured that a lot of people liked it but if you're looking for something more critical, here I am! I remember loving Milk and Honey so I'm not sure if I just grew out of my Instapoetry (usually a line to a few lines saying something like "He loved me but he was too late. I already found love in myself." Very simple. A lot of the time too simple.) phase or if this book just completely missed the mark. The writing just fell so flat. Especially the short ones. The longer ones gave more emotion and I enjoyed those but it was definitely outweighed by the littered Instapoetry that felt so empty. It felt like it was trying so hard to be deep that it almost seemed ridiculous. Maybe it's just me, which is okay. Happy that people enjoyed the book though and that she's getting support. I know you won't love everything a creator puts out. Looking forward to any other work she'll put out!
