some of the most pathetic, cash-grab, wannabe poetic slop i have ever ever read

[Alex · Rating 1 out of 5]

The idea: fabulous. The execution: meh.
I am, however, still laughing at “you still up?” when the timestamp said like 19. What are they? 5? Bedtime at 18?

اسمش رو دیدم و فهمیدم که: حیف کاغذ.

Confusing, muddled, repetitive, unnecessarily drawn out, gave me a headache. The only bright side is it helped with my reading challenge lol.

I mean, some of the pages could have been nice by themselves but it just feels like someone went onto Pinterest, grabbed a bunch of different aesthetic quotes and glued them together. Not in a good way.

Spontaneous br with Aaiza, Yusra, Dream, Memi, Nasu and Bluee

If I wanted to read the texts of cheesy cringe middle schoolers in a toxic relationship I could've just gone to Roblox

Buddy read with Aaiza, Hanna, Ummaima, Hydra/Yusra_1, Naisa, Blossum and maybe a few more people

i should have listened to the npcs.

~preread~

js saw this while doom-scrolling on the cursed side of booktok and decided i had to read it because every npc online seems to genuinely hate it

[Aaiza عائزہ [Hiatus] · Rating 1 out of 5]

This was fun....(the 1 star type of fun)
Really random buddy read with Dream, Hanna, Yusra, Blue, Naisa and Memi
Also WHY WAS I THE FIRST TO START AND THE LAST TO FINISH

[Naira Xx · Rating 2 out of 5]

[Audrey Pantano · Rating 5 out of 5]

This should be sold with at least 3 boxes of tissues

i once begged someone to love me
the way i loved them and that’s
the saddest thing i’ve ever done

the "you still up" at 7pm 😅

this had some relatable stuff but there were some parts that sounded very cheesy and i went like "hell nah 🤨"

.・゜゜・✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* .・゜゜・

"one of the most bittersweet feelings has to
be when you realize how much you're going
to miss a moment while you're still living it"

"i always see stuff and think
'oh you'd like this'
i hope that you see stuff and
think that i would like them too"

"you don't deserve someone
who comes back, you deserve
someone who never leaves"

"meeting you was the best part my 2023"

"have you ever looked at someone and thought,
'damn, could you just love me back already?'"

"you didn't reply but i got your message"

"stop holding onto people just because
you have history together"

Felt so Pinteresy- like did you copy that? Meh 🫤

[Dua · Rating 3 out of 5]

If you are looking for poetry, this is not your book. It's simply a bunch of thoughts (or text messages) for hopeless romantics who have gone through a complicated relationship.

[Aditya Pandey · Rating 4 out of 5]

In the end, it feels like a modern-day poem tailored for the new generation of hopeless romantics. Enjoy the book, but don't take everything too seriously. Some parts may uncover deep emotions, so approach it with a lighthearted mindset.

Felt like reading texts.

[Yeana Kabir · Rating 2 out of 5]

Like I mean I guess I understand but like this eh idk

[Camilia ?! · Rating 3 out of 5]

I have no words.

Don’t text me in the afterlife…

[Armaan.. · Rating 5 out of 5]

Was it poetic? No. But Was it worth reading? Hell yeah! Did it make you cry? Hell lot! Was it relatable? Matters on what poem, but yes somewhere I did relate to it. Excuse me for all the people didn't like it, it's they're views but, a book doesn't have to be poetic for you to like it even if it is meant to be a poetry book, acc to me If it makes you feel the words, if you're getting attached to the words, it doesn't need to rhyme. ❤️‍🩹

[Pravallika Mandapalli · Rating 2 out of 5]

literally took me 15 minutes to finish, and honestly, calling this poetry feels illegal. It's just a collection of sappy teen texts filled with cliches and shallow emotions... it’s just repetitive and dramatic, making it hard to take seriously. What’s meant to be poetry comes off more like an over-the-top diary entry.while It might resonate with some , for me, it was a quick read that didn’t live up to the hype.

*Quietly closes book and adds to “worst books I’ve ever read” shelf*

[Beatrice · Rating 3 out of 5]

Most of the pages here contains all of my intrusive thoughts that I felt for the past years. Relatable? Yes. Beautifully written? Not so much because majority are rundown sentences which I consider as quotes rather than poetry. Is it a bad book? I like it but not my favorite.

It’s a very short book you can finish in one sitting.

newfound love for poetry


you had me with your words,
you lost me with your actions

i don’t hate you, i’ve just lost all respect
for you and have nothing to say to you anymore

I decided to put as much effort into contacting you as you do with me, that’s why we don’t talk anymore.

What’s the saddest word in English?
Almost
Why?
I was almost enough. She was almost in love with me. I almost survived. We almost made it
