Pretty Boys Are Poisonous: Poems
Ratings15
Average rating3.2
Megan Fox showcases her wicked humor throughout a heartbreaking and dark collection of poetry. Over the course of more than seventy poems Fox chronicles all the ways in which we fit ourselves into the shape of the ones we love, even if it means losing ourselves in the process.
“These poems were written in an attempt to excise the illness that had taken root in me because of my silence. I’ve spent my entire life keeping the secrets of men, my body aches from carrying the weight of their sins. My freedom lives in these pages, and I hope that my words can inspire others to take back their happiness and their identity by using their voice to illuminate what’s been buried, but not forgotten, in the darkness,” says Fox.
Pretty Boys Are Poisonous marks the powerful debut from one of the most well-known women of our time. Turn the page, bite the apple, and sink your teeth into the most deliciously compelling and addictive books you’ll read all year.

so there were about 10 and a half good poems in this. (For the record there are 77 poems in here - def on purpose very clever — which makes about 13% of this good)
The “titles” honestly were better than just about every poem.
Middle school me would've ATE THIS UP tho
Well, at least the art was very pretty...
(All jokes aside, it wasn't the worst thing I've ever read, some* of it was actually quite good - & it must've been very therapeutic for Megan to write.)
