The Sun and Her Flowers

Rupi Kaur has been one of my favorite poets since Milk and Honey. Her writing style is so unapologetic and raw. She never fails to bring me to my knees in tears. This book is my therapy. She is my therapy and everyone should read this book to heal their heart.

There are not many writers today that can evoke the range of emotions that Rupi Kaur does in this book. You can hear the sounds of the refugee camp, smell the flowers of her mother's garden, and feel her pain as she writes about what happened to her. We live in a world where we over share the frivolous things in life but refuse to be real and honest with ourselves and with others. It is refreshing to read a work that truly touches the soul.

Great book reminds me of https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/hearts-arent-broken-theyre-dropped-carina-marie-marquez/1127769852?ean=9781982061975! Check that one out as well.

I will be reading this book over and over and encouraging all the women I know to read it too.

I loved it!!!!!

Oh let's become famous by showing the world my used tampon and then go viral. This is NOT poetry people! This is Garbage!

wish the ending would be better

extremely unoriginal treatment of common ideas—grade-school level poetry.

After reading milk and honey by rupi kaur, I knew that I had to get my hands on, the sun and her flowers . I just picked it up today and read it in one sitting. This book is so beautiful, just like milk and honey, and I am in love with rupi kaurs work.

Heart opening... Eye opening

I don't get it. Her poetry is a bit too basic for my liking. But poetry is subjective. If you're looking for authenticity and depth, read a poetry book called Love Me Like The Stars.

Beautiful

The Sun and Her Flowers was an extremely powerful poetry book that bought out the struggles of most women and personal life experiences that Rupi Kaur has been through. This phenomenal book is worth the read and I 100 percent recommend to any girl who has been through a heartbreak or trauma and needs to know that they aren’t alone. The book is separated into five different parts which consist of different topics. She starts off with Wilting, which is about the destructive side of love and how it has made the author weak and desperate for a man’s affection. She talks about how lies and lust were hiding deep behind a loving and caring disguise. The second chapter is called Falling. This chapter leans more toward self esteem and inner issues that women face. Rupi Kaur talks about the negativity she feeds herself from comparing her body type to others. I believe this is something everyone goes through at least once in their life. This section summarizes the personal thoughts and questioning of yourself after a break up. Rooting. This gets more into her personal stories involving her parents’ transition to the United States and her mother’s advice to the new world. Although there are some people who can’t relate to the topic of immigration, I believe there are still several poems in this chapter that everyone will be able to enjoy. Rising. This section shows the uplifting that she showers herself in. The poems are a reminder that in order to give and receive the good love in the world, you must first learn to love yourself. It’s almost as if this is the stage where she starts to put all of her broken pieces together as she learns that self love is the best love. I think of this one to be my favorite chapter because of its importance in everyday life. Whether in a relationship or not, it’s vital that everyone remembers to love themselves first. The final chapter is Blooming. This section is about Rupi Kaur falling in love all over again, but this time for someone who gives to her instead taking away. This reminds the readers to never give up on love because of one toxic relationship. Love can’t be forced. It brings two hearts together and you simply can’t deny it. Overall, a great book with beauty lying in every sentence.

Amazing!

I LOVED IT!!!

Amazing Rupi !

This book is exceptional. I finished it within a few days.

As usual, Kauri's words manage to make me feel like I'm not alone. Her poetry pulls me out of holes I didn't think had an exit.

I felt this collection did not move me the way Milk and Honey did. Perhaps I expected too much considering her first book was such a success. Even the most famous authors cannot please their followers 100% of the time. I have learned this from experience.

Beautiful poetry to make you stop and think. I love this book.
