2 star rating off the bat

i've read rupi kaur before and i actually enjoyed it. maybe my book taste has changed because now i feel as though this is barely even poetry. it just feels like random sentences and im gonna give it a benefit of the doubt but it's not looking too good right now.

what. is. happening.

so far, this is beautiful. not only the poetry included in it, but simply the author describing it, analyzing and speaking about poetry, it's genuine so gorgeous to read. annotating it as well makes it a very nice and enjoyable experience.

" I am the good sister,
the outsider,
the one who mourns.
Like me, Cinderella is made over from deformity to beauty and social elevation.
Her new appearance is my new appearance.
But I am also a stepsister.
I am vain and consumed with my own internal life,
drunk on the hot liquor of the desire for parental approval,
desperate for love and validation,
self-multilated,
seeing my sisters as competition.
Bloody. "

Real.

"Gat almost always saw, though. When blood dripped on my bare feet or poured over the book I was reading, he was kind. He wrapped my wrists in soft white gaze and asked me questions about what had happened. He asked about Dad and about Gran - as if talking about something could make it better. As if wounds needed attention.
He was a stranger in our family, even after all those years."

"Welcome to the beautiful Sinclair family.
No one is a criminal.
No one is an addict.
No one is a failure."

im already falling in love with this book all over again.

rereading we were liars !! 🫶

"And I definitely wouldn't want you to be George."
"And why is that?"
He presses his lips together. He's even closer now. Surprisingly earnest. "It would be a waste."
"A waste of what?"
"Of you."
