Thoughts:
First off, I was unable to concentrate on the messages of the poems by one super big flaw in my opinion.

The format was extremely annoying and hard to get into.

#2 there were some poems such as Explaining depression to my mother hat were very good, there were plenty of others that I could simply not care about.

There are a lot of mentions of depression, loneliness, not being in a relationship, issues with fathers which were somewhat ok but still nothing that got my attention all that much. 

Overall I did not like this book may be the style is not my thing or I could not connect to the topics as others have and that dampened my enjoyment of the book.
