I LOVE MY LOVE

There's this love-hate feeling when I read similar books to Rupi Kaur's Milk and Honey.Because:1) So many better poetry books have already been written in similar vein but have been underrated. (I am discovering a few every other week like this one...and I am not even sorry to say this: this one is a lot better!).Now I cannot stop asking why was it so overhyped?2) I still love that book because of its hype I actually began reading poetry and made me explore more poetry.This one is good.I won't say it's perfect or amazing but yes, it's genuine and honest and hopeful.Like as mentioned before, it is along the themes tackled in Rupi Kaur's books: abuse, relationships in which one loves more and getting hurt, body shaming, teenage pregnancy, racial discrimination, loving and accepting oneself, letting go and being hopeful.No trigger warnings from my side.Swear words alert though 🧐Love it still.It takes lots of courage to write about your biggest fears and weaknesses and make them known to the world.

This book resonated with me on so many levels. Particularly enjoyed the parts when she explored her relationship with mother/parents relationship

I truly recommend this book to anyone who is struggling with self love and how to love them self and all the hurt and heartbreaks and destroyed you. This books helps you to recover from agony. This book was truly so eye opening for me and help me recover and love myself and to fall in love with myself always to leave toxic relationships because your love and happiness is more important then the hurt and fact love a partner can cause you. She’s one of my favorite author and truly someone I look up to. I’m really not a religious person but she brought me more to god then i ever felt before. She made my soul to rest. This book shoe be an award winning book !!!!!!! Truly recomend and worth spending your money on !!!

Ive been following her on instagram for a year & I couldnt wait to read her book. Its beautifully writen. Easy reading yet so deep. She's only 22 im 1year older & reading this was truely inspiring

I'm not the biggest fan of poetry, and I was skeptical about a book of spoken word poetry, but I loved this book! I devoured it in one night and read it two more times over the course of a week. Reyna is such a talented writer, she masterfully expresses the thoughts and feelings I've been unable to put words to. Its hard to tell someone to love themselves without it coming off as cheesey or a too large a concept to handle. How does one write a book advising someone to love themselves without it coming off as a, I'm superior to you because I've already figured this out and don't you wish you could be like me vibe. Every female should read this book. I'm going to buy it for my cousin who's 16 I think she'll enjoy it.

Love this book it reminds me of milk and honey. Cant wait to read more of the authors work !
