The book is divided into four parts containing poetry, prose, anecdotes and illustrations by Rupi Kaur. The four parts are:

- The hurting, dealing with abuse of women in society
- The loving, dealing with relationships
- The breaking, dealing with breakups
- The healing, the fourth phase of recuperation

The book is filled with some interesting musings, some quite well-worded. The writing isn't properly punctuated or capitalized, making the reading experience difficult. The writings are awfully random and sound like edgy captions for Instagram posts. Some are just rants. And then there is the oddball that catches your attention and makes you feel differently and then you're bombarded with more of the underwhelming musings.

I'm not saying I'm anti-feminist. I respect her advocacy for menstrual cycle awareness. I also liked some of the pieces in the "hurting" collection but most of these are just bad writing. Moreover, the lack of punctuation and capitalization makes it difficult to read, although I believe this was done to provide some originality to her text but then....






Either I just don't get poetry or I'm too old-fashioned for this.
