To All the Ones I've Ever Loved Paperback – November 30, 2016

I LOVED reading this on the train. Also Kiana’s writing paints such a lovely image I would highly recommend it in a physical book.

Relatable collection of thoughts and feelings captured in a tweetable short format, on the pain of heartbreak. After reading one is left feeling slightly numb by the many repetitions on a theme, with very limited new nuances captured in each short poem/thought.I was completely distracted by the abundance of spelling mistakes and grammatical errors or perhaps contortions to make thoughts "work".Perhaps only enjoyable to those in the depths of heartbreak seeking to know they are not alone in this feeling and needing repetition on a theme, but to anyone on the other side of heartbreak (since we all experience it sometimes!) it feels overindulgent, repeating the same themes over and over again, with limited artfulness in word selection to paint a more colorful vista of the exquisite pain of break ups and finding space to heal.

This book was very personal to the writer, but a lot of it I could relate to. Enjoyed her experiences and wisdom she shared.

It's not that this isn't a good book, it is.It's probably one that some people would really enjoy.The reason I only gave this book two stars is because the introduction was so beautifully written...But nothing like the rest of the book.The ending pages were also beautifully written...Just like the introduction.Toward the end of the book I was struggling to finish.I would give this writer another chance though.
