Him, Her & I: A Three Way Heartbreak by IM His

Go to review page

emotional reflective sad fast-paced

4.5

This is an unusual and emotional poetry collection that explores heartbreak at different stages of life and relationships - moreover explores that heartbreak never really leaves you and will always shape who you become. This poetry was lively, rich and emotional. I can't wait to see what this poet can do in years to come - the maturity of a life lived would add additional perspective to these reflections. Really enjoyable and well worth a read.

Creative, contemporary and unusual. This queer stream-of-consciousness style narration is bold in its depiction of mental health issues, loss of self and the despondency that comes from being part of something that is over. The reliability of the narrator is questionable from the offset. The book overall is fragmented and daring in style but that left me wanting more depth in the character we were depicted.
