Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm going to be that person. I purchased this book thinking there was no way I couldn't appreciate it. With amazing reviews and topping the charts, I was so excited to read this. I was incredibly disappointed. The book resembles Facebook statuses from your one friend who is overly emotional about an ex. The beginning of the book did not have me in tears, but questioning the language. I feel poetry is where you have the most freedom to play with words and how they flow and sound together, and it really did not meet my expectations. Some of the one liners I'm sure I've seen from other people on photo captions - so basic that it's difficult to call it original material. I felt uncomfortable reading it, and I really wanted to feel empathetic. It wasn't for me at all. Probably the most disappointed I've ever been after reading poetry.
