Milk and Honey

The book I read was called "Milk and Honey". The author and illustrator of the book is Rupi Kaur. Milk and Honey is a book about The hurting, The loving, The breaking, and The healing stages of a heartbreak and rape. The book is basically poems about Rupi Kaur's life. In the beginning of the book she explains that she was raped and the hurt she went through.  She wrote this book because she went through a bad heartbreak and was emotionally hurt. On the back of the book she writes that she wrote this book to help people who have been through what she has. Everyday she would still feel the hurt until one day she started writing and it relieved her.

Personally I really enjoyed reading this book. Even though the poems are really short they still have powerful meanings to it. I've never really been through a bad heartbreak but the book itself was still really relatable. It has a lot of good life lessons that can help you in the future. She touches briefly on loving yourself before being able to love anyone else, but she put a lot of emphasis on it. She teaches you that you should always make yourself the first priority because you are important. I recommend this book to anyone who has ever been though/struggling through a heartbreak. I loved this book and if anyone gets that chance I suggest they read it.
