I really liked the review of my Goodreads friend, who said poetry that is about processing inner feelings should not really be rated. It is wonderful that people publish their things and we should encourage everyone else to do it! And a lot about how we feel about "processing poems" is about how we can relate to it (full review here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1917491464).
Still, I am rating this because I want to. 
Luckily, I do not relate to most of the abuse the author experienced. Reading the first chapter and a few occasional poems later really hurt. Just being a woman (and a human being in general) in this world makes me relate somehow. Being grateful that I was kept mostly safe and being incredibly sad and mad that anyone had to go through this stuff.
In later chapters the poems were more about relationships, love, and hurting because of it. I found some wisdom there. But also just really enjoyed learning about someone else's perspective.

This was possibly my first time reading a whole poetry collection. I could have read the book within an hour but deliberately spread it out over many days so I can go back, feel, and just process. If I was to read more poetry, I will do a similar approach. I also think right now that I am not done with the book yet, I want to revisit the pages and maybe copy down stuff I can relate to most. Or just let it sink in.
Let's see. I shall try.
