I didn’t really enjoy this... most just felt dumb and poorly written, while very few actually hit me the way I enjoy. I understand what was being tried for but it failed in my opinion.
Another poetry book that I requested on Netgalley and it was beautifully written. Thank you @Netgalley especially the publisher for providing me an electronic ARC.
It's a nice collections of poems, some are pretty funny. I liked her sense of humour.
(there are some things in here that left me wondering whether their truthful or not, definitely gonna do some research after writting this)
''My partner reads the newspaper
first because I always wet it
with my tears.
Just kidding,
I don't have a partner
but I'm slowly building one out of papier-mâché.'' I don't know what's the significance or what I am supposed to feel or enjoy when I read this. Somehow it annoys me.
One thing, I will NEVER enjoy poetry like this. I can and will never be able to consider it as funny or satirical or just plain poetry because it represents none.
I got a copy from #NetGalley as I got so interested in the description, the cover and the title. But I found these to be really opposite of what's inside the collection. I don't want to say this but after reading a few of these poems, I got so angry with myself for continuing on.
And what's with the illustrations I will never understand. They were really bad.
It's so childish and immature.
Look at this:
'I cried at your wedding
because you married someone terrible.'
Yes, that's one whole 'poem' taking up a whole page.
Seriously, I don't need such collection. It's not funny at all. It's not sad at all. It's not anything at all.
But I am so grateful to #NetGalley for providing me with this copy of #YouCantKillMeTwice
This was a beautiful and honest poetry book, written with Yi’s whole heart. The poems in this book handle different subjects, like mental health, emotions,... The book also contains a lot of beautiful illustrations, which make the reading experience even better. I definitely think this poetry book was one of the best I have ever read, in my personal opinion.
I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.
Honest raw emotional real poetry with sketches to add to the emotions.A whirlwind of a poetry collection very much enjoyed.#netgalley#andrewMcmeel.
I cried at your wedding
because you married someone terrible.
This short poetry collection is pretty good. The poems include a variety of themes, there are some harsh truths, some funny poems and some deep poems about trauma and family.
The illustrations added something more to the poems and I really liked the drawing style.
In the future I definitely would like to read more by this author.
