 Review: I had known that this book was the beloved book of people and it was really popular. Personally, I was so intrigued in tumblr poetry for so long that I began writing one myself. Now, not so much. So basically, I knew what I was getting into when I picked this book up. 
 'he only whispers i love you 
 as he slips his hands 
 down the waistband 
 of your pants 
 this is where you must 
 understand the difference 
 between want and need 
 you may want that boy 
 but you certainly 
 don't need him' 
 milk and honey is a collection of poetry about love, loss, trauma, abuse, and femininity. There were many many many short ones that were unable to tell a story and obviously wasn't worth my money. I truly did not feel anything, anything reading this book. This book contains a lot of sentences being separated by enters, which really wasn't necessary because you could have just write it in a sentence and that would have been more provokable. There were also paragraphs where sentences were being divided by full stops, which were also not necessary, in my opinion. To me, if I am to describe this book in one word, it will be pretentious. Pretentious and not provoking. I've also read some tumblr poetry that are pretentious, but I figured them to be good ones. 
 All the lousiness aside, if this is the way a person tells her story, fine. Some pages can be considered powerful due to the commitment and the confidence of a writer. I didn't essentially need a week to read this book. This book can be normally finished in an evening or a morning because it's really short. I thought that the drawings/illustrations in every page felt really personal and tumblr-ish. (I mean, of course, because it's tumblr. Everyone shares their personal stuff on it.) 
 Overall: This book was a really quick read. Each page was being ornamented by drawings/scribbles. I wouldn't say that it was a proper or amazing way to represent poetry nor recommend it to anyone.
