Chapters reviewed : The whole book. ______________
First of all, I salute you for your courage to dedicate an entire book for the much needed voice towards what you've written.
Wattpad should ban you for making us cry and being devastated at your poems, I literally cannot stop at one, I have to read more all the time! What a masterpiece the entire book is!
Coming back to the review!
First Impressions :
Title, Blurb and Cover : Aesthetically speaking, perfect. You know your entire first look reminds me of a published book since poetry like this fits really well with the entire introduction!

I
ts a published book, so just an idea of how yours will appear 👆
(Nope not a paid promotion😂, just stumbled upon it so thought of including it!)
The Book itself:
Let me tell you something. Usually when I review a book I don't leave it in parts. Even if it takes me hours I won't leave it until I am done with it.
But your book?
I had to get up every 5 minutes to get myself together because that's how much it affected me. Take it as a compliment because this is one of those rare books that actually made me so distorted!
It is really well structured and the use of certain Italics and Bold is very good, the reader can feel it, position themselves, feel the surprise, feel everything you intended.
All the paragraphs are cleverly spaced, no kind of deviation from the main emotion. Good job!
Yes, the picture you wanted us to visualize is beautiful. The reader can feel what the protagonist feels! I, personally, related with few of the poems, and those really hit me so hard. Honestly it was really brave to let it all out! Wonderfully written!
Although in the poem 'The body wasn't hers anymore. ' , the use of 'Like china' kind of, (teeny tiny kind of), didn't sit well. I suggest you use a more hard hitting example since China is geographically speaking small😅 and also it didn't really match with the other words!
Coming to whether people will buy it if its published.
Hmm, let me tell you, they bloody WILL. Such a thought provoking and well expressed book! I'd pick it up seeing the title and the description itself!
Having said that, if you're looking towards it getting published, I suggest you don't repeat chapter titles like (i) and (ii).
'Her body...' and 'Power of mother'
These two poems had the same title but different protagonists. But if you go to a publisher, they wouldn't want the same title twice since the content is so different!
The reason is when they read the poem from the female part and then they see the male part, its almost as if you're offering a choice to the readers.
" Like if you're a girl read the first one. If you're a boy read the second one. "
Of course you never intended that, but it comes off like that! So I would suggest you change the titles!
Descriptions :
Man, at this point I am just fangirling, pure fangirling at your courage and strength! The words and descriptions really just flow so well!
'Letting go is a lot harder than it looks' is another level! I don't know how long will it take before I get over your book.
But frankly speaking, I don't want to.
Final words :
I'd buy 10 copies of this. Period.
