In many ways, I am probably too old for this book. In relation to where I am in my life and who I am. Much of what Nelson wrote about were things that I had connected to, just don't anymore. Heartache, breakups, delusion of what love is and isn't, etc... and at times it's a bit too vulgar. Still, I really enjoyed her poetry/prose. Each note flowed into the other, that really more I read a poem that was made up of mini poems. I'm glad I picked it up.
