Ice Cream And Suicide

The book arrived in perfect condition, and, of course, it was exactly as described. The poems are very melancholic and worth the read in my opinion! I'd say it's worth the purchase! The only thing I'd mention outside of this is that the book cover is kind of velvety!

This book is amazing! I absolutely loved it- had it read in 2 days. The quotes/poems in this books have so much pain yet it’s relatable. Each story touched my heart. It’s definitely a 10/10 for me. Also, I seen others comment on the pages ripping out- I had one page to do that but it went back in and never fell out after that. I say get it. The quality is good and the book is enjoyable. Once you get started, you won’t want to stop…

I love discovering new authors and this was no exception. My favorite was “famous last words”. An entire story you can read into the one sentence that is so emotionally expressive it creates such a visceral response. Will definitely follow and read more!

Jack Ray has this incredible ability to be super relatable to me. In almost every poem I was thinking, “ouch, I feel that.” He rarely rhymed, and mostly just spoke from the heart about pain, which was a really cool way to write the book. The poem that he put on the back of his book—the first time I read that poem, I knew I had to read this book. He’s honest and doesn’t really speak with metaphors, or in “pretty” languages, which makes him really easy to read and understand. I honestly loved the book and I read it very quickly. “One day you’re gonna see, The biggest mistake you ever made Was thinking I was good for nothing.” His poems were mostly small and straight to the point like this one, and that played a lot to his advantage. His audience wasn’t people who love poetry, it was for people, like me, who can appreciate small things that enter our hearts but are still very poetic, just in the most informal way. He’s definitely not one of the “greats” when it comes to poetry, I feel like his poetry was actually really mediocre, but he has a way with words that pulled me in right away and, when I finished, gave me several things to think about.

I am huge sucker for finding new poetry books. I enjoyed reading the lovely poems in "Ice Cream and Suicide". This is definitely a book you want in your poetry collection.

If you love poetry definitely buy this books! It’s so good

It's a nice quality book, and will look nice on a shelf but... As for the contents I'm not really impressed. I didn't even get half way through before I got tired of it. Not trying to be rude to the author, it's just not my favorite.

I love this book.

Lovely modern poetry perfect to read on days, or weeks, when depression swallows you whole. It provides a certain comfort, that so many more people can relate to the words written.

Verry interesting book

Some quotes made me rather emotional, many I could relate to. I love these kind of books, and this one was worth to add to the collection.

Good

This collection of poetry took my breathe away in the most beautiful and heartbreaking way. Gorgeous words written so beautiful and tragic. Definitely a new favourite
