Milk and Honey

Book Review 

Title: Milk and Honey

Author- Rupi Kaur

Genre: Poetry

I was a fan of Rupi Kaur the day I browsed through this book at a book store. I loved the way this particular book has been divided into four sections- the hurting, the loving, the breaking and the healing.The verses are so true to life and our feelings. There is a strong connect and anyone who reads these verses can feel one with them. 

The emotions are conveyed in such a blatantly truthful manner that at times they seem to be cringe worthy. But then, these are facts and she has portrayed them in simple and profound words. There is no unnecessary jargon and explanation. Feelings and emotions run through each page without any boundary. They can be felt as we read them. There is a strong connect as each one of us has gone through this cycle of hurting, loving, breaking and healing at some time in our lives. It is an on-going process that none can avoid. 

Reading this book is like understanding our own feelings, giving a name to our feelings and acknowledging them. The verses are like a mirror to our thoughts and feelings. They speak of hurt and love and also of being strong and hopeful.

This book has an interesting cover page and it is impressive to know that Rupi Kaur did the illustrations herself. There were some verses that were  really stood out. This book is definitely a good read.
