I felt bad rating this book a 3.75 at first so I changed it to a 4.0. It doesn't resonate with me as much as BLACK MOVIE did by this same author, and while they do an incredible job at writing most of this comes from my own relationship with poetry. However, I would still tell people to read this book and give it a chance, it's a book I feel a lot of people still should take the time to read even if they don't like it themselves.

This was not an easy book to finish. It’s less than 100 pages, but it is extremely heavy. Danez Smith is a master poet who knows how to weave humor and dark topics together beautifully, but the heaviness often outweighs the humor in this one. This collection is poignant and relevant, but not wholly enjoyable. That’s not to say this is a bad collection by any means whatsoever — it was just hard to get through. Be thoroughly aware of the trigger warnings for this book before reading.
