i'm not sure it's fair to rate a book on a scale of 5 when this was so very clearly therapy for the author. it's like walking into her therapy session and saying she's bad at speaking. it was however a deeply disappointing book after all the hype it got. the formatting and poetic structure was lacking on most pages where there was nothing more than a sketch and a tumblr quote broken in half by the enter key arbitrarily. there were some pages with poems or prose that had real substance, things i could connect with. i don't know man, i'm just walking away unsatisfied.
