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 -

The healing -

The hurting -

Please get Rupi's book! It is AMAZING! It is GOLD! Also, feel free to pin these, I had fun making them :)

F & C - It's the middle of the month, and last month, we took a break :).  To make up for last month and to have a quick break from fiction, if you are interested, lets take a quick detour to poetry and finish this month with a big bang (I'm currently in London, and their Netflix has The Big Bang Theory, and I've been binge watching it before I go back to the States where unfortunately we do not have it)! Thanks to Instagram and the explore page, I found out about Rupi Kaur and read some of her poetry, and of course I fell in love with the way she used her words. I have since bought her book, and and will be reading it this month! Hope you join in :)
