My Review -

I gave this book 5 stars. No doubt about it, this is one of the best poetry books I have ever read. As I was reading, I kept thinking - Rupi, you took the words right out of my emotions.  My favorites in particular order were the breaking, the loving, the healing and the hurting. I related a lot more to the breaking and the loving. The hurting was very deep, but the breaking was the best. Excerpts of my favorites from each section below -

The breaking -

The Loving -
