This is one of the poetry books I browsed at Fullybooked. I was hooked at first, the author has a good and easy writing style but it's getting redundant and the poems are forgettable. I don't know if it's just me, I interpreted this collection on what men desire in women. Honestly, I was taken back to some poems. It's like telling me what women should be to become lovable. This blows off a woman's self-esteem when it should be empowering.
A woman is lovable for the way she is. She doesn't need your fucking standards to be desirable. You are not worthy of her love. She can stand her ground with or without you. Respect her wants and needs. I am really sorry, I just dislike this book.

I was able to find a line here and there that I liked, but overall I found it to be repetitive and offensive. It felt very preachy and judgmental, stating more than once that women should wait for their husbands and stop choosing the wrong man to give our love or bodies to. I almost stopped reading altogether when the author said that women should choose men with the same pickiness that they utilize while choosing which selfie to post. Seriously not okay.
If you want strong, empowering, female-based poetry I highly recommend Love Her Wild by Atticus and I Wrote This For You by Iain S. Thomas. 100000000/5 stars.

حیف وقت، حیف هزینه 🚶♀️🚬
خیلی کتاب بیهوده ایه 😞
عصر حوصلم سر رفته بود، گفتم یه کتاب کوتاه قشنگ بخونم ولی واقعا فقط یه مشت حرف کلیشه ای بود در مورد عشق به زن و اینطور چیزا.
گه گداری تک شعر قشنگی مثل یافتن سوزنی در کاهدان، پیدا میشد توی کتاب مث این:
She loves him more than he'll ever know, and he loves her more than he'll ever show.
what a tragedy.
ولی در هر صورت تصمیم گرفتم جلدهای بعدی اش رو نخونم:(

I read it in one sitting. It was just fine book. Neither good nor bad. It was just fine.

I was a bit skeptical coming into this one. What does a man really know about women? Next to nothing. This book really shows that. I've been going through a soul crushing divorce and thought this book might bring me some insight into the opposite sex. I can honestly say this had none of that.
This entire book reads like a teenage virgin wrote it. A virgin who despite his best efforts, has yet to even have any form of relationship with a girl. It's 100% female worship dribble. Women should be bowed down to. Men should be grateful for even being in their presence. If you're looking for a realistic perspective about the positives and negatives of female psyche look elsewhere. Zero thought provoking moments.

I hate rating books bad, but this book was insulting to me as a woman. Not only that, but the poetry was lacking and felt unoriginal. I was insulted by the female stereotypes consistently used, and if they were supposed to be comforting it did the opposite. Also, if you write about female independence, do not follow it up about pressuring her to be dependent on you when she doesn’t want you to. Very disappointed with this book.

به اولین ریویو ۲۰۲۱ خوش اومدید. ^__^
▪︎درباره کتاب:
کتاب her مجموعه اشعار بسی کوتاهِ pierre alex jeanty هست که درمورد خانم‌ها و دنیاشونه.
▪︎چیزی که فکر می‌کردم:
باتوجه به مطالبی که گوشه و کنار گودریدز و اینستاگرام و توضیحات آمازون دیده بودم، می‌دونستم یکی از کتابای شعر پرفروش در حوزه زنانه و داره دیدگاه نویسنده که یک آقاست در مورد خانم‌ها میگه و نظرم رو جلب کرد که بخونمش.
▪︎چیزی که تجربه کردم:
کتاب با این جمله شروع میشه:
I do not claim
to be a great poet,
but a great observer of her.
خب با توجه به پیش‌زمینه‌ای که از کتاب داشتم، وقتی این جمله رو خوندم با خودم گفتم "عجب جنتلمنی!" و درحالی که چشمام قلبی شده بود ♡-♡ شروع کردم به خوندن کتاب.
اوایل همه چیز خوب پیش می‌رفت اما کم‌کم احساس کردم داره خانم‌ها رو خیلی تشنه محبت نشون میده و این اصلا برای من جذاب نبود!
البته بعد کمی بهتر شد و شعرها تقسیم به سه بخش شد که بدون هیچ ترتیب و قاعده‌ای پشت‌سر هم میومدن:
۱. احساسات شاعر
۲. توصیه‌های انگیزشی به خانم‌ها که خودتون باشید، خودتون رو دوست داشته باشید، دنبال هر عشقی نرید و...
۳. توصیه‌ها و مشاوره به آقایون که قدر طرف مقابل رو بدونید و باشون مهربون باشید و...
که البته اگه بخوام بگم کدوم بخش بیشتر بود:
۲ 》 ۳ 》 ۱
و خُب واقعا کتاب رو دوست نداشتم، حرف جدیدی برای من نداشت و صرفا از چندتا از بخش‌هاش خوشم اومد اونم نه در حدی که عاشقش شم و چندبار بخونم، درحدی که پروسه مطالعه گودریدزم رو آپدیت کنم :|
▪︎دیگه چی:
اگه بخوام با کتابی مقایسه‌ش کنم شبیه milk and honey هست، یه‌سری متن‌های کوتاه و ساده همراه با نقاشی‌های مینیمال.
البته شعرهای این کتاب از میلک هم کوتاه‌تر بود.
من شیر و عسل رو بیشتر پسندیدم، لاقل یه هدفی پشتش بود و حرفی برای گفتن داشت، این کتاب از یه جایی به بعد تکراری شد برای من و صرفا خوندمش تموم شه.
×ضمن این‌که اصلا نمی‌تونم این کتابا رو شعر محسوب کنم، یعنی چی نه وزن داره نه آهنگ؟ اصن هیچی ب_ب
☆ من کتاب دیگه این نویسنده به‌نام him که درمورد آقایونه هم گرفتم، اونم می‌خونم شاید از بعد از خوندنش نظرهام در مورد این کتاب تغییر کنه...
▪︎به کیا پیشنهاد می‌کنم:
راستش به هیچ‌کس :)) خب نپسندیدمش!
اما اگه شما دلتون کتابی میخواد که جملات انگیزشی و عاشقانه کوتاه داشته باشه واسه بیو تلگرام یا کپشن اینستاگرام پیشنهاد خوبیه.
واسه شروع کتاب خوندن به زبان اصلی هم خوبه چون خیلی کوتاه و ساده‌س.
▪︎سخن آخر از زبان کتاب:
People have a strange way
of telling you that they are guilty,
they will start by acting as if they are not.

English / Spanish
I don’t even know where to begin with what is wrong in this book. But I’ll try.
For starters, the words the author uses to talk about women: afford a woman, pursue a woman. Since when are we objects someone may or may not be able to afford? And the fact that you are saying that if a man is xxxx is not deserving of pursuing a woman? No one, deserving or not deserving, can pursue a woman.
Another one: ask her to be yours. And again: no person is an object that has to belong to another. If a person (woman or man) decides to love you and be with you, congrats. But not even in that case is that person yours. That person only belongs to herself/himself. And it may be considered poetic to say “he belongs to me” or “she belongs to me”, but together with all the other bad stuff of this book is simply annoying and worrying.
Honestly, I think the main problem is that this is written by a man who doesn’t understand (or even tries to) women. Because there are male authors who write beautiful, healthy poetry about women, but this is not the case. This book is promoted as empowering and is supposed to spread the message that you are beautiful as you are, both in and out. But actually, instead of that, it treats us like we are silly, incapable to make the right choice (unless it's some superficial choice), and compares choosing a partner which choosing which selfie to post:
If only you picked your man in the same manner you chose which selfie to post, which outfit to wear, or which restaurant to eat at. Being picky can help secure the right pick at times.
And it doesn’t stop there, don’t you dare to go out and live your life while you are not married, don’t you dare to date a man if you are not going to marry him (the author doesn’t even consider you may not want to get married):
Perhaps if you wait for a husband and stop treating boyfriends as kings, you will no longer kiss the wrong frogs.
And yes, there were poems I liked, but when I finished this book I couldn’t feel anything but offended and disgusted, so there are many many many more wrong things with this book than right ones.
SPANISH
No sé ni por dónde empezar a describir lo que está mal de este libro. Pero lo intentaré.
Para empezar, los verbos que usa para referirse a las mujeres: permitirse una mujer, perseguir a una mujer. ¿Hola? ¿Desde cuándo somos un objeto que pueda o no alguien permitirse? Y que plantees que si un hombre es xxxx no es digno de perseguir a una mujer pues tampoco me sirve. Ningún hombre, digno o no digno, debe perseguir , repito, perseguir , a una mujer.
Y otro caso: pídele que sea tuya . No. No. No. No va a ser tuya. No es un objeto que puedas definir como tuyo. Es una persona, y si decide estar contigo y amarte, enhorabuena. Pero ni siquiera en ese caso será tuya. Solo se pertenecerá a sí misma. Y sí, ya sé que a veces es una cosa muy poética de decir, “él es mío” o “ella es mía” pero es que en conjunto con todo el resto de este libro, en esta ocasión roza lo preocupante.
Para ser honesta, creo que el principal problema de este libro es que el autor es un hombre que no entiende (ni intenta entender, parece) lo que es ser una mujer. Porque hay hombres que escriben poesía bonita y verdadera y nada tóxica sobre las mujeres. Pero este no es el caso. El libro se da aires de empoderamiento y de que una mujer es bonita tal como es, por dentro y por fuera, pero luego nos trata de tontas o de elegir mal mientras compara cómo elegimos pareja con como elegimos qué selfie subir o en qué restaurante comer:
If only you picked your man in the same manner you chose which selfie to post, which outfit to wear, or which restaurant to eat at. Being picky can help secure the right pick at times.
Ah, y encima nos aconseja quedarnos en casita a esperar al marido ideal, nada de salir a vivir tu vida mientras tanto, libertina, fresca, a ver qué te has creído teniendo novios con los que al final no te casarás (porque es que además ni se plantea que no te quieras casar):
Perhaps if you wait for a husband and stop treating boyfriends as kings, you will no longer kiss the wrong frogs.
Y sí, sí que ha habido poemas que me han gustado, pero la sensación final al acabar el libro ha sido tan de disgusto y de sentirme ofendida, que lo malo gana a lo bueno por mucho.

this feels like an instruction for males to love a woman in a poetic way HAHAHA tbh. I was hoping i could find some new about but there's none.

Y'all I finally found a poetry collection that I genuinely like.
July 16, 2022
apparently my guilty pleasure is to read trash poetry books, give them 1 star and just forget the whole thing the instant i finish the last page.

There were some nice poems, but overall it felt very unoriginal. I think it should have been divided into two parts. One for advice for her and the other for advice about her. Everything was mixed and confusing. And then the poems about black girls seemed random. Like he was trying to cover some topics but couldn't do it, it was all over the place.

One of the poems in this book reached almost a million likes on facebook, worth a shot.

“Women
like her
are only hard
to love
by men
who believe
love is just a word.”
I love it so much, im crying so hard, everything just speaks to me especially at this moment of time, god i love this so much.

I didn't like it because I don't care about love as much as the author mentions.

One of the most important quotes that I have heard from Maya Angelou is that; you may not remember the words people say to you but you will remember how those words made you feel. This book left a lasting impression of beauty in me. It made me to love myself even more and heal by writing.
September 21, 2018
That is s a collection of poetry talks about woman in general, about her perfection and imperfection, self confidence, the inside beauty, true lovers and fake ones, the inner strength, hate, bitterness and more...
Poetry meant to be poignant but honestly this collection couldn't convey any feeling to my heart, it sounded plain and superficial..
I like some portions like:
She is a tree
And her fruits of love
Will come into fruition
If you don't water her
Pour affection, attention,
communication, motivation, on her
roots

If you are a woman, or love, respect, look up to a woman in your life, you are surely going to relate to this exquisitely furnished poems and proses. Smooth.
October 1, 2020
I finished it like a piece of cake!
So simple for beginners to read a poetry, its sentences are very short and contains alot of pictures.
Although the book is very small but I don't recommend to read it in one sit as you're going to feel a little bored.
I didn't like his personification in making the woman an angel without any mistakes! She is just a HUMAN who can be guilty and wrong.
To sum up, it's a good book to read before sleeping ..
The quotes :
Your smile will be like the sun cracking
through the clouds to the man of your
dreams.
.
There is nothing
wrong with being
an old soul
waiting on
new love.
.
If you do not love yourself,
others will use that to
justify their inability to love you.
.
Small hearts do not leave room for love
when they’ve faced enough, They become
storage for bitterness and resentment with
no space for anything else.
.
What good are flowers without water?
What good are promises without actions?
.
Have you known anyone
who has been shot in the heart
and didn’t bleed or
suffer from the pain it brings?
.
To demand that she acts like
it didn’t hurt and put that
in the past easily
is to ask her to be a robot,
rather than a human who feels.
.
Desiring a man
whose efforts speak
in a higher tone
than his promises,
isn’t too much to ask for.
.
We aren’t meant to be broken forever,
that is punishment to our hearts and minds.
.
Love is meant to
blossom
through the good
and
endure through the bad.
If it cannot persevere through the bad,
don’t call it love.
.
The day you hold her,
You will feel as if you are carrying
the world and all the beauty in it.
.
If you ever find yourself
lost without them,
find your way home.
And if their heart is no longer home,
find who you were before them.
.
You both were once strangers
looking for love,
and now
you are both strangers
afraid of love.
.
Isn’t it ironic that the perfect moment for
them to admit that they need you in their
life is when you finally realize that you’re
well off without them.
In other words,
the devil knows when you are getting close
to heaven.
.
Love
should
not
cost
you
your
sanity.
.
Another word for beautiful is,
“be yourself.”
Be yourself my dear,
it’s a beautiful thing.

My mom and I read poetry together every morning. She lives in Oklahoma, and I live in Florida. I send her pictures of the poems and we discussed. We have read every Beau Taplin book, some Rupi Kaur, Michael Faudet, and Lang Leav. This one was a gift from a reader of mine, so I gave it a shot.
While I think there were many great poems in this, I wasn't overly impressed. The writing is pretty simple and a lot of the poems felt repetitive to me. I didn't really have any WOW moments where a poem knocked my socks off.
That being said, my mom really enjoyed it and we discussed many of the poems at length. A solid 3-star poetry read that will remind you of adolescence and all the ways you should cherish yourself as a woman.

While I can't move and really do anything but rest, books will always be my reprieve. This poetry book made me want to cry with all it's empowerment and just literally shoving in my face that I deserve better. Broke my heart in a good and sad way. Amazing.
