Milk and Honey

deanna_mcguire shared a tip "It was really good! Very raw and emotional but worth it. I go back and read it every now and again when I'm feeling a certain way. Definitely recommend!"

kaylah_nguyen shared a tip "I love how Kaur illuminates important issues (that sometimes aren't discussed enough) through her poetry. It's astonishing to me, how greatly she touched on sexism in particular. The writing was amazing, clever, and incredibly creative and had me addicted to each page and word; I finished it in a day. Kaur was truly ahead of her time with her writing, and I highly, HIGHLY recommend this, but keep in mind that some poems featured bring up mature themes that might not be suitable for all audiences"

emmett_hanning shared a tip "That's the issue. Work had been killer and I'm trying to get into reading for fun again. I don't know what poetry books I should read, but I do wanna read The Power by Naomi Alderman"

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."

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."

laura_1801 shared a tip "Beautiful book, this is the first book I’ve read of this author and I love it!, this books has very beautiful and thoughtful quotes, things that you probably never pay attention to but that you needed to pay attention to. I totally recommend this book if you feel like you need to restart to love yourself or something else."

jeb_9379 shared a tip "Depends if you like modern poetry. It's really in the "trend" of nowadays poetry writers. It's good but I preferred RH Sin, Atticus or the poetry bandit."

tarin_suydam shared a tip "Oh without a doubt! If you aren't familiar with her poetry, you can check out her social media pages. She shares bits and pieces of it there"

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."

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"."

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."

joelle_rosales shared a tip "If you’re someone who used to be really into poetry but left it alone for a good 8 years and now you want back in, any Rupi Kaur book is for you."

mrs.quicksilverr shared a tip "the way the author puts everything definitely sparked something inside of me. she’s been through a lot of what i have and it helped me cope and recover from the pain that it brought me."

ailise_wholey shared a tip "I don’t think I’ve read anything else by her but I really enjoyed this book, and I’m not usually big on reading books of poems. I would like to read more of her work."

spac3_c0wboy shared a tip "I haven't read the book in a minute, but I do remember a recurring theme of owning one's own sexuality. I liked that a lot. I think it's important and the author wasn't afraid to express that within the book."

deleted_user_1624637463169 shared a tip "Very modern and simpilistic writing style. I did enjoy it, although I feel its a bit overrated. Definitelty raw and to the point. If you like poetry that doesn’t have to make you think too hard about the meaning, this is the book for you. I still love the raw and vulnerable emotion. The straight forwardness of this book made it so that many people can relate to at least one of the poems throughout. Simple yet elegant writing."

monique_gil shared a tip "Rupi Kaur has a second book out called The sun and her flowers that I started reading and it's just as beautiful as milk and honey. My favorite author, hmm. Ellen Hopkins, Angie Thomas, A.J. Howard, just to list a few! Who is yours?"

amber_whitfield shared a tip "I actually just brought it and was going to pick it up after I finished my current book. From what I heard it’s a collection of poetry but it does have some really difficult conversations in it. So beware of that if you decide to read it!"

maria_enriquez_5485 shared a tip "I usually don’t read poetry but this book was great. The poems were beautiful and elegant but easy to understand. As I read I can feel everything all the emotion but on a book. And it makes you understand their actions and why they believe this and why they did this. I would recomend this 100%."

deleted_user_1620163515846 shared a tip "I JUST finished this book, and this is honestly such a godly read. Many people (especially some at my school) don’t really appreciate it cause it’s such a small book, but it’s the power of the words within it that make it larger than its exterior. This is a VERY inspirational read, it’s too the point I’ll check it out once every month because it’s THAT good!! Hope you enjoy it!"

emily_reynolds_9673 shared a tip "Favorite poetry would be anything by Emily Dickinson. She talks heavily about death but in a beautiful way. My favorite book of all time is Night by elie wiesel"

alexa_waterhouse shared a tip "Of course! I’m currently interested in psychology, so I’m reading ‘map of the soul; persona, shadow, and ego’ I’m also reading a book called demain! It has an amazing plot, and the meaning is so..... meaningful I guess?"

girlboss1000 shared a tip "OH EM GEE, LITERALLY I WANT A MILLION COPIES OF THIS BOOK. BLESS THE AUTHOR, ITS WRITTEN SO WELL. the way she expresses herself in this book is.. literally i'm speechless . i love it"
