Well done poetry
Published by Chanel , 4 years ago
This is a book made entirely out of poems. The poems are well written, although I felt like the subject was all about being depressed over some guy so to me, I didn't relate and felt annoyed at the constant fall back to the dude again. There were a few poems in there that weren't about being depressed over some guy which I found refreshing. I think that I went into this book believing that it was to be about battling depression as a general whole, but while reading it, felt it was more so about missing some guy so the book left me feeling rather disappointed to be honest. Again though, it is very well written. I would read another book by this author for sure.
