While some poems did make sense, but most of them did nothing for me. It felt like we were going in circles as she uses the same topics for every single sign.

Does this even have something to do with star signs? Because the stuff written in the poems is oddly specific and hardly relatable. Bourgeault E, Dahl A, Thibeault MM, Dupéré A, Drolet AM, Mathieu J.

The other poetry collection I read from this author was just as bad, and I can see no learning of the art of poetry, no development. I had a hard time choosing a rating for this one. Like a previous poetry collection I read by the same author, the poems are very personal. Majority of the poems are based off of people they knew or met, or of herself, so it is difficult to rate something very personal.

My favorite was probably the Virgo chapter, where it's suddenly all about being a feminist and having mommy issues, like it's somehow a universal experience for all Virgos to not get along with their mothers.
