Type of read: Commuter Read.

What made me pick it up: MGK released 'Lonely Road,' I watched the music video, saw Fox, started going through a list of newly available audiobooks at my library, and 'Pretty Boys are Poisonous' popped up. It felt right.

Overall rating: The realness and rawness that Fox uses in their writing is absolutely gutting. I thoroughly enjoyed 'Pretty Boys Are Poisonous and am thankful Fox felt they were at a place where they could share their feelings with the world. I do see the difference from quote unquote traditional poetry structure that some other reviews questioned, and I think it's important to note that poetry doesn't have to fit a specific mold. Poetry, at its core, is about using words artistically to share a feeling.

Reader's Note: 'Pretty Boys are Poisonous' includes themes of physical, mental, and emotional domestic abuse; drug use; sex; alcohol; miscarriage; self-harm; and suicide.
