Time is a Mother by Ocean Vuong
3.0
slow-paced

Okay, I do not like poetry it isn't a category I navigate towards. The last time I read any sort of poetry was for my English Lit GCSE. So I've avoided it for seven solid years, and for good reason. I don't think this was for me. It's not a reflection of the book but rather that I personally, should not read a category that I know I won't like in the hopes it'll change my mind. 

I gave it a three because it's not the worst thing I've ever read and to rate it poorly simply because I don't like poetry would not be an accurate reflection of it's content.
