All in all I found my reading experience very inconsistent with this book. Some are gems, for sure, but a lot of filler content.

It would be better if these materials could form a narrative. But they didn't. The themes keep revolving around either love or heartbreak, and they managed to be both repetitive and random.

Like I said, the poems are nice to read, but some are too short or obvious. The prose mostly are dud. Some are good though.

I was really surprised tofind out this book is only 50% poetry. The rest are prose-format. And like I said earlier, they are mostly bad. There are just a couple of good ones though. The poems are fairly consistently okay, some are better than expected.

Scratch that, the prose is terrible. The poems are cheesy, but it's okay for a YA book, but then the prose tries to be edgy and drops F-bombs out of nowhere. In a poetry book!
