Jass_myb shared a tip "One of my favorite reads !"
ashaa_khan_5886 shared a tip "I don’t really read poetry, but I enjoyed this collection for the most part. Some poems were less interesting than others, but so many poems really hit me right in the feels and it’s also evident that Kaur put a lot of heart and love into her writing."

cecilia_soto_7814 shared a tip "Yeah Dan brown, The Da Vinci Code I really love that one"
kelly_ann_m._vincent shared a tip "This book is awesome. A immigrant woman talking about the difficulties of life. Immigration, rape, heartbreak, incest, sexual assault, the consequences of it and how you can get over it."
mystipheye shared a tip "This is essentially considered to be good poetry by people that want to feel like they are reading, and thus read this easily digestible and substance-lacking bs and give themselves a pat on the back. Calling this good poetry is a travesty of epic proportions."
danielle_israd_luty shared a tip "Rupi is a GODDESS. My new favorite book (changes frequently) has to be Testiments, Atwood. I couldn't put it down. Absolute masterpiece story line."
m_hendrix shared a tip "Thank you! Rupi Kaur's newest one "Homebody" was amazing too. To your question, I cant think of just one favorite. "The Little Princess" and "The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe" are special because they were some of my first favorites. If I had to pick favorites for some of the most beautiful writing, I would say "Their Eyes Were Watching God" and "Love in the Time of Cholera"."

eva_fales shared a tip "Very very deep and intense. Shows pain in a beautiful way"
brittney_h. shared a tip "Love her wild, the truth about magic both by Atticus. And home body by Rupi Kaur"
zennia_hall shared a tip "I feel about this book the way kinksters feel about 50 Shades. Cool if this book made you interested in poetry, as it's poetry-like and easily accessible. Bad if this is where your journey ends. This is no more poetry than Christian's mommy issues are BDSM."
rebb_nels shared a tip "I think so. First book I believe by her and has a ton of raw feeling that first work often has. Lots of themes of loss and healing."
alondra_castillo_4039 shared a tip "Love this book"

rayne_elliott shared a tip "One of the BEST POETRY BOOKS I HAVE EVER READ HANDS DOWN. From the experiences specific to non-white women to the struggles of generational trauma, this poet can heal any all all trauma that affects those who identify as and HAVE PREVIOUSLY identified with the experiences being socialized as a woman. And, even more so, a non-white woman. #poetry #women #SA #trauma #healingtrauma"

This healed me in ways I never thought I could heal. This book helped me bloom into a more healed and strong version of myself that I am today. I utterly love this book and it will always will be one of my all time favorite poetry books. It’s beautiful, shattering, strong, loving, kind, cruel, bitter, kind and just checks off every box I have for what I need."
