in the garden each year

MY RATING: 3 Starts
MY OPINION:
To be honest with you I didn’t even know if I should write a whole review for this book… I gave to this book 3 stars only because I liked the fourth chapter that is called “rising”.
When I read poetry books I always mark the poems I like with some little paper sicks (once again I don’t know if that’s what you call it but I guess you understand what I’m trying to say here so…) and I actually marked a lot of poems, I enjoyed some of them pretty much and I really really like the way Rupi Kaur writes… my problem is I couldn’t relate with the poems in this book, I could relate a lot with poems of the fourth chapter but that’s it… the other markers I used were simply random, like poems I enjoyed here and there but nothing like the ones in “rising”.
I don’t want to be unffair and a lot of people said this book was better than “Milk and Honey” and when I read “Milk and Honey” I gave it 4 stars or 4.5 stars, I can’t remember… so for me this one wasn’t that good, but once again it is probably because I can’t relate with the poems as I could in “Milk and Honey” and maybe people that enjoyed this one more than the other one could relate more with this poems than with the other ones.
