This was my first poetry collection by Rupi Kaur. This was an intimate anthology with loss and heartache nm bounds. While I can say that not all of her poems resonated with me on a personal level, the rest of them did. This collection took some courage from her. Letting us see all of her worst moments. I enjoyed her comments with regards to the way women are expected to live our life without tempting the men with our dress. That because her parents risked it all to come to America for a better life, she is the first generation of women in her family that gets to choose her life. She has the freedom of voice, none of them are allowed.
I also respond heavily with her learning to love herself again. It’s an important aspect of our lives that not many of us manage but we must always be working toward it. She also has a chapter dedicated to her parents, who are immigrants. They left India for America to give them a better life. They did created beautiful children after knowledge and higher learning opportunities. I gave this a 4/5 and suggest this for your reading list.
