Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur
3.0

It reads like a diary, which can be good and bad — I’m giving it three stars because of ambivalence rather than apathy. Some lines are striking and uniquely vivid, while others are just motivational-poster quotes with extra line breaks; beyond the basic subdivision into four sections, there doesn’t seem to be much rhyme or reason behind the order of the poems in terms of length/structure or content. However, the themes are important and relatable, and the doodles (for lack of a better descriptor) are a good match for the imagery and moods of the poems they accompany.
