BOOK REVIEW: 

This poetry book is a short read, something you can definitely finish in one sitting.

The poet wrote it in a way where the ideas were direct on how empowerment is vital to young girls and how it would shape them into strong women in the future.

Right off the bat, there were a few spelling errors that were overlooked in the editing process. The poems were also a little too short for my liking. However, there’s a hint of a satirical tone to it if I had to be honest. Some poems mocked the idea of women doing traditional women things, which was how I understood it. Nonetheless, the execution could’ve been improved and more impactful, if this was the way the poet intended for the poem to be interpreted. It was also written in a way that seemed chronological which I found to be interesting.

Personally, I did not enjoy reading this book. It definitely requires you to read it 2 or 3 times, just to figure out if there’s more to it than it meets the eye. One thing I definitely remembered from my literature classes were not to take things at face value, so if I read too deeply into this than it was intended for, my bad!
