I was never the biggest fan of the poetry genre but when I found out about Rupi Kaur, I grew more interested in it. Rupi is an amazing writer and brilliant with words.

In Home Body, she touches on topics like the past and present, abuse, self-love, womanhood, relationships, and more and invites readers into spaces that can make one feel like everything will eventually be okay, no matter where you find yourself in life. When I sat with Home Body, I took in every word and was blown away. It’s a book of poetry that’s bold, cathartic, and inspiring and one definitely worth checking out. If you’re looking for something good to read, Home Body is a great selection.

We chilled at my place a few times, had a few phone conversations, and exchanged occasional texts, but eventually he stopped responding to me
