The summary implies that the poems in this work will outline the journey of the author's growth from an immature, young teenager to a wisened writer who has learned something along the way. However, the tone of the poems from start to finish is poorly developed, if at all. All 91 poems seem to be about the same lost love from high school.
She introduces the book with this statement:
"You think petty rhymes can't tell a tale
Well I have 91 stories to unveil
to each poem there lies a past
read on to enter a journey of ever last."
Spoiler: all the poems are written in this oddly phrased, haphazardly arranged way. There is no development in tone, topic, or style. I'm not sure how this even got published (I do know that Seven Locks Press has a shoddy reputation in Santa Ana).
