Unfollowing You Komal Kapoor Books Reviews
- I liked the idea of this book and incorporating texts/letters vs having only poems, but I felt like it fell a bit short. First, it all felt a bit surfacy without much depth. There were plenty of poems I agreed with logically, but nothing that invoked any deep feeling from me. Second, some of the poems used a more formal tone while others used words like “lol†and “bae†so I didn’t really feel like it flowed well. It came off almost like a collection of various writers rather than one sole author. Or maybe it’s just that the author is still working out her writing identity/style. To be honest, I think the allure of Instagram is being able to use art and pictures that compliment the words. Without the visual aspects, it felt flat. I’ve purchased several poetry books from Instagram writers and I always walk away in some kind of emotional state. This one just didn’t do it for me.
- It was not what I expected. I feel the story and I feel the character, but I don't feel IN the poetry. I felt like an outsider reading about a love story, but I personally prefer to be able to morph into the story, take the place of the narrator. I did not get this from Kapoor, don't get me wrong, she's amazing and I usually love her work. There was just something missing for me...
- Absolutely loved it. Anyone who has grown up with social media (like myself) can highly relate to this modern love story. Unlike most disney-type of unrealistic love stories, this book is a story so many of us have actually lived and will most likely relive again. Reading this book was an emotional rollercoaster just as I had hoped it would be! I also love the short length of the book because it was easy to read in one sitting (which my short attention span loved). Not to mention Komal is an artist with her words as you can tell from her instagram @komalesque. The poems which comprise this book range from formal to informal which I was a big fan of because it speaks to how we as humans actually function unpredictably. It is free-flowing and showcases all of the emotions humans experience in the cycle of romantic love.
- A very open and insightful display of what it can be like to open up your emotions and feelings to someone else in today's dating world. Komal uses beautiful poetry to tell a story of a relationship that never was.
Stanzas like "I am drowning in the shallow waters of your affection" and others are not only relatable but poetically tragic. I read this 160-page book in 30 minutes, and every minute was worth it. If you're single, take $10 and half an hour to read this book. - The creativity that Komal has to be able to show by telling a modern love story through poetry is amazing. Her style resonates so much with today’s relationships being driven by so much online communication. Unfollowing You is so refreshing to consume and a must read!
- I received ‘Unfollowing You’ on the perfect day... valentine’s 💗 I sat in front of the fire and I indulged in what felt like my biography with a recent lover. I couldn’t put it down and read the entire book cover to cover in one night... I loved reading Komal’s style of poetry and how it relates so well in this digital era. I’m fascinated with human behavior and relationships and this book is relatable for those of us who’ve experienced confusing love connections
- A beautiful take on modern romance and dating, it puts into works many of the things you’ve probably thought over the course of a relationship.
- I finished this book the first time in a few hours. I kept alternating between laughing and crying through most of it. I read it a second time to share with friends some of my favorite from the short, powerful poems in this book that are able to describe an emotion or an entire chapter of someone's life so perfectly.
