I read this right after Feed, hoping to find some comfort or something, and it made me feel /even worse/ so I'm not even going to rate it because my heart can't handle giving a 1-star review to a Mira Grant book
DNF at 26%
nothing particularly wrong with this one, but it's really not holding my interest

this was okay, but I'll have to decide if I want to continue. I'm a little wary about where the story goes after that ending
I received an early copy through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was one of the best and most powerful debut poetry collections I've read.
I loved the composition and how all the poems together told one story - I read the whole thing almost in one sitting because I was eager to know what happens next. The way Cyrus described every small detail of his two very different relationships was captivating, both the toxicity of the first relationship, and the little, loving, everyday moments of the second.
As someone who's used to fiction, reading some of the poems was strange - there were some events that weirded me out and yet I couldn't really "disagree" or judge, since this was someone's real, actual life, not the relationship of two fictional characters. I'll have to get used to this if I read more personal poetry, but I still enjoyed the poems in this collection.

I absolutely love the phrase "she ties me in forget-me-(k)nots".
favourite poem:
☄️ cherry blossoms

there is no story where two girls get a happy ending. she tells me fine, we’ll write it ourselves
Girls loving girls is the most beautiful and sometimes the scariest thing in the world.
This short but powerful poetry collection tells you about the doubt and the strength and finally the beauty that comes with loving girls. I am honestly speechless at several of these poems. I also loved how some of them addressed the portrayal of girls loving girls in media.

they pull the trigger, but when she is kissing me
only cherry blossoms come out.
