Milk and Honey Review: Beautiful, unfiltered poetry - I'm very late to the Rupi Kaur fan club, but I am here to stay! Kaur's poetry is raw and fresh, and it yanked me into its world on the first page. Milk and Honey is broken into four sections of life and love, and the reader travels through heartbreak to loving to living. The first section, hurting, explains how love and pain aren't always separate, and how not knowing how to separate them is what causes skewed perspectives of love beginning in childhood. The unfiltered voice looks at how parents can shape us in the worst ways before we ever see the right ways. The poem that stayed with me is that alcoholic parents don't exist, only parents who couldn't stay sober long enough, and the truth hit me like a brick wall. It's a perspective that needs to be pushed more because it's the only true one. Favorite hurting poems: pages 34 and 39. The second section is called loving, and it shows the first step after hurting, where we find passion and fireworks in our first relationship and think we've found everything we've missed. However, it's usually the calm before the storm. The passionate love tends to involve fighting and fiery make-up sessions, and often, we mistake that for forever love when really it's just a better love than anything else we've been shown, but it's still not a good love. Favorite loving poems: pages 76-77. The third section, breaking, is about realizing you can feel both love for someone and betrayal and it's accepting that both are valid. It's forgiving yourself for having conflicting emotions because those who love us can hurt us. Breaking teaches you what real love is so you know how to recognize it from others and in yourself. Favorite breaking poems: pages 90, 95, 104, 106, and 125. The final section is called healing and it's about balance and boundaries, knowing how much of yourself to give to others only after first giving to yourself. Healing is realizing your worth as a person and taking up space. Healing is knowing you are whole because you exist. Favorite healing poems: pages 154, 159, 165, 178, and 185. The sections flow effortlessly and Kaur's writing is unrelenting and dives into you like a tidal wave. Her writing is unfiltered and a breath of fresh air. I can't wait to read her other collections. Review: Emotional, raw, and beautifully written - This book is simple in form but powerful in emotion. Rupi Kaur writes in a way that feels deeply personal, and every poem touches on something real, love, pain, healing, and growth. It’s one of those books you can open to any page and find something that speaks to you. The short poems make it an easy read, but the meaning behind them stays with you. It’s the kind of book that feels like a quiet conversation with someone who understands. Tip: read a few pages at a time and take moments to reflect, it hits harder when you give each poem space to sink in. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 144947425X | | Best Sellers Rank | #6,948 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #6 in Poetry by Women #7 in Religious Poetry (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (64,897) | | Dimensions | 5 x 0.5 x 7.7 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 9781449474256 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1449474256 | | Item Weight | 6.3 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 208 pages | | Publication date | October 6, 2015 | | Publisher | Andrews McMeel Publishing | ## Images ![Milk and Honey - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71l9WWa-rXL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful, unfiltered poetry *by H***N on June 23, 2023* I'm very late to the Rupi Kaur fan club, but I am here to stay!

Rupi Kaur writes in a way that feels deeply personal, and every poem touches on something real, love, pain, healing, and growth. It’s one of those books you can open to any page and find something that speaks to you. The short poems make it an easy read, but the meaning behind them stays with you.

It's a fiction book and a lot of her story is about boys and what she goes through to try and find love. She goes through more pain than anything else. I hate reading but every night I actually got really excited to read this book. Milk and Honey is a very good coming of age story because as she grows up she learns what's real and what's fake. Like she used to think that she loved a guy but when she started dating a guy who she actually loved she realized that she didn't actually love the last guy because she saw how real love was really supposed to be. This book has a lot of very inappropriate text with a lot of rape and sex; It's a good book for high schoolers and adults but no younger because she does get raped at one point in the book. At first I thought that this book was really confusing because in the book Rupi Kaur doesn't use any names so you have to keep track of everyone without names. But there's only one or two people she writes about at a time so that makes it a lot easier. If I ever met the author I would have a lot of questions to ask. Like why didn't she have the main character tell anyone that she was being raped? Or why didn't she give any of the characters names? And a lot more. If you are the kind of person who really likes a good book but doesn't have the time for a long book, Milk and Honey is a really good quick read. If you're just going out for a long car ride and you have nothing to do, unless you're the one driving, then buy this book and read it. It only took me a day and a half to read and I wish there were A LOT more books like it. I think that this book should be a book assigned to classes to read instead of a book that most people don't want to read. I think that students would enjoy reading this book a lot more than others that I’ve read in the past. This is a very unique book because of the way it's set up. There are a lot of amazing quotes and there's no other book that I’ve read. There are quotes like, “love is not cruel, we are cruel, love is not a game, we made a game out of love”. This is a very beautiful and amazing book that I think you should read. ## Frequently Bought Together - Milk and Honey - The Sun and Her Flowers - Home Body --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/18740776-milk-and-honey](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/18740776-milk-and-honey) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
