🖤It's always a bliss to read an anthology, as I always say, it gives a great feel as it is from the heart of different writers from different places with different perceptions.
🖤This book 'I. R. L : IN REAL LIFE' is a collection of 99 poems based on the dark sides of the internet, dealing with addiction, bullying, body shaming, and what not!
🖤Author Himanshu Goel is the editor of this book, confirming that I could except goodness from this book. And sure, there are few poems that are memorable.
🖤Most of the poems are too touchy as they say about their own experiences of bitterness like how people in social media mock at them, tweet jokes at them, how it makes them feel low, feel like they don't look pretty and all.
🖤'What doesn't kill you' is deep from the heart of the writer, till bearing the scars in her words. 'I have flaws' has a magical hope inside it. The poems Trolling, Lost, and many other poems are so good. The poem 'Depression' is a greatly a different and hopeful perception. 'Effortless' is relatable. Many poems like 'Label' mesmerized with their rhyming.
🖤Let me share a few lines from the poem 'They laugh' by Aaliyah Salia.
'When will it end?
"Soon..." A voice tells me
"How soon?" I ask.
But the voice doesn't reply.'
🖤Still I felt like some poems lose the taste that I expected in it. The book seems like a big one but actually it is short to read. The formatting of the book and the book cover is too good.
🖤Overall, it's a short and good read for readers who loves to explore the darkest side of internet through the eyes of various readers.

FORMAT-- Paperback
MY REVIEW:-⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This book is composed of 99 poems on the dark side of the internet which is written by different writers on the topics like depression, cyber crime, bullying, body shaming, phone addiction etc. Which are the dark side of using internet. Moreover, we just show off ourselves on social platforms while in real life person may feel low or broken or depressed but they hide their real side behind some funky filters just to show their happy perfect life. Internet has took toll on human life and we are behaving like a puppet of internet by each passing day. Some poems are short and some are long in length while some includes rhyming too with words. But each piece is written in mindblowing way. Many poems just touched my heart❤ this poem collection book will blow your mind by showing deep reality on your face and it is thought -provoking. This book is an eye opener which will make you learn to love yourself with your all flaws and to fight with your dark days and also to spend good time with family, nature and friends in real life rather than just showing off on social media just for the sake of some likes or comments. Must give it a read💕

In real life by Himanshu Goel is an amazing collection of 99 poems from the dark side of the Internet talking about topics like bullying, social media and smart phone addiction and depression. Some poems really touched my heart. I am glad that I read this book. Himanshu Goel has put magnificent efforts to compile 99 poems. The book has lucid language. This book is definitely an eye opener and it definitely deserves one read. We should conserve our time and do some productive work instead of spending hours on social media websites. This book also tells about how people fall in trap of Social Media and do something wrong. It was an amazing experience for me to read this book.
Overall, it's a good one and is recommended to beginners because of its easy to understand language. According to me, this book should be read by everyone once.

I.R.L. In Real Life is an anthology of 99 poems on the Dark Side of the internet which is complied by Himanshu Goel.
I liked the concept of the book because it is very important to understand the truths and myths about the Internet.
It is good to see that many young poet/writers from all over the country came across to pen down their thoughts on this needful topic.
Although the Internet is quite helpful in today's world, what if it gets in the wrong hand and that's the problem we are facing today.
People get addicted to Mobile phones and social media, people are being bullied, cybercrime is also increasing every day.
All the writeups in the book are amazing and deserve thousand of readers. While few of them touched my heart. My wishes to all the writers, keep writing. Hope to read more from you.
