Milk and Honey

Written by Rupi Kaur

A book for adult readers reviewed by Nataly

    

Milk and Honey is a collection of poetry written by Rupi Kaur, whose childhood was not the best. She was raped by one of her family members, which traumatized her. In the book, Rupi goes through many things that not everyone has experienced. However, those who have may not feel alone.

I recommend Milk and Honey to those who are mature and love deep, meaningful poetry. The book shows what broke its author and made her vulnerable, as well as how she learned and (most importantly) healed.

Though I have never experienced what Rupi Kaur went through, some parts of Milk and Honey were super relatable. Overall, this is a book that taps into your emotions and makes you think.
