Okay, I don't get why people so vehemently hate this poet, other than they think she doesn't deserve to be so popular and so published as she is? Like, her poetry is what I considered romantic and "maybe someday I will be this passionately in love" when I was like 16. I would have written this stuff when I was 16. She's the Billy Collins of YA poetry. It's shallow, simplistic, fatalistic, if you have experienced sacrificial romance then you will roll your eyes at Leav's thinking that her relationships were true love. But you know what? If it's selling, and people are reading more poetry, and it helps people get more interested in reading poetry in the future, then I don't see what the problem is.
