I started this book by thinking, I'll really love this. But as I started going through more pages, this woman really tested my nerve. Not gonna lie, some of them were actually good. But those were in fewer numbers comparing to the vast ocean of meh and what the fuck!?
Some of them were downright degrading. She literally pits another woman against her, to show that she was better. Another woman who has nothing to do with her. She is bitter because her ex dates her. Like this line for instance,
"the woman who comes after me will be a bootleg version of who i am, she will try and write poems for you to erase the ones I've left memorized on your lips but her lines could never punch you in the stomach the way mine did she will then try to make love to your body, but she will never lick, caress, or suck like me. she will be a sad replacement of the woman you let slip. nothing she does will excite you and this will break her. when she is tired of falling apart for a man that doesn't give back what he takes she will recognize me in your eyelids staring at her with pity and it'll hit her. how can she love a man who is busy loving someone he can never get his hands on again."

"i am a museum full of art but you had your eyes shut"
"i was music but you had your ears cut off"
These felt like, copy-paste version of someone else's work. Like, when we ask our friends to show their homework, and we copy it slightly differently, so that we won't get caught. This felt like that. These were awfully similar to the one quote of being rainbow and colourblind.
And she has some serious issues with dating. She dates all the wrong people. As she says, she is an extremist. And nothing extreme has ever been good. By judging her whole book, I couldn't agree more when she said, "the abused and the abuser
- i have been both" She might think her work is revolutionary, but man! Some of them were hella toxic. Like this, "it wasn't you i was kissing -don't be mistaken -it was him on my mind -your lips were convenient" Well, this explains why she thinks her ex might be doing the same!
I had real high hopes for this book. Heard and seen so much about it that, I was practically waiting to read it. And man oh man, how it all c
