Oh, well. Kind of hard to admit that there were some pieces here that I liked, as I had only complaints about the poetry books I read before this. But I liked this one a bit. Still, the writing style was messy and inconsistent, and many pieces could've been social media posts. I wonder why the publisher decided to publish this. Anyway, here are the ones I liked:
- "Before you ask her what she will bring to the table, it's best to make sure it's sturdy."
- "Loneliness will not trap her back into your snares. She is learning to accept her own presence and growing in the understanding that the absence of a partner isn't the absence of love."
- "Broken people depending on love to make them whole often break more hearts than they love on."
- "Her slowly closing to you is giving you a chance to do what it takes to reopen the door or to at least put your foot against it and pause to talk about how you keep it from closing."
- "Depleted she became after she gave and gave."
But it's the "before you ask her what she will bring to the table, it's best to make sure it's sturdy" that made me chuckle. I'm not actively dating, but I think it would be funny to me if a guy asked me what I bring to the table and then I hit back with, "Is the table sturdy?" I really don't care about a man's finances, but he shouldn't ask me that question if he brings nothing to the table, even emotional sturdiness (especially emotional sturdiness).
