I liked this book a lot. DáZhane Thomas is a very talented young author and I hope they are inspired to write many more lovely stories throughout their career.
This book is one that can stir up many emotions while reading. It's a story of a young man called CJ, a college football star. His life is complicated and filled with lust and temptations, leading him to dealing with severe baby momma drama, which is the main part of the story.
Although I loved the story and found the poems very thought-provoking and beautiful, I believe that this book was published without enough editing. There are plenty of grammatical and structural issues that make it hard to read. The story is also very rushed, which is why it was finished in a little over 30 pages. The rest of the book contains well-written and meaningful poems.
I took off one star for these issues, but other than that, I enjoyed this story and loved it so much as it's a realistic representation of the messes a lot of young men get involved in when they become young adults.
