Introduction
Perhaps the critics that follow Rupi Kaur's writings will forever stay the same. A lot of people complained that it entails some cringe sayings similar to what we read on Instagram. Yet, a lot of people appreciated both collections of Milk and Honey as well as The Sun and Her Flowers and said that they could greatly feel what Rupi went through. If you haven’t read the book yet, do not listen to any of these opinions, whether positive or negative. I invite you to keep on reading the review of the book and decide whether you would give reading it a shot or not.

About the Author
The Indian writer and poet Rupi Kaur hold Canadian nationality after she emigrates to Canada in her early years. She is the bestselling author of Milk and Honey which was her firstborn that made a big success beyond what she ever expected. Rupi's books were translated into several languages and the translation to other languages is ongoing which is pure proof of her successful career as a writer. Both books sold millions of copies and were subjects of debate by many people and interesting topics for many blogs.
About the Book
Written by Rupi Kaur, whose first poetry collection Milk and Honey was a bestseller, the Sun and Her Flowers is the second self-published poetry book that made another huge success to the author. The book mainly tackled a journey of a woman rising, blooming, and appreciating every single moment of her life. This book is split into five chapters. As described by the writer herself, the book is: " A journey of wilting, falling, rooting, rising, and blooming. A celebration of love in all its forms."
Major Themes
The themes involved in the book correspond to the five chapters:
1. Wilting: The first chapter mainly focuses on a woman who is broken-heated and it describes feelings of pain and loss.
2. Falling: The next chapter is all about depression and the miserable moments a woman goes through after ending a significant relationship.
3. Rooting: This chapter talks about matters of immigrating and living in a new country and other similar topics that were treated all as regards to the female gender.
4. Rising: Rising highly appreciates the love and is loaded with feelings of thrill and delight as well as some doubts about carrying one's life on.
5. Blooming: The final chapter of the book displays how the author eventually finds peace with herself and everything that surrounds her.
Famous Quotes
"Why is it that when the story ends, we begin to feel all of it"
"You do not just wake up and become the butterfly" -Growth is a process."
"The universe took its time on you
crafted you precisely so you could offer the world
something distinct from everyone else
so, when you doubt how you were created
you doubt an energy greater than us both"
"The right one does not stand in your way
they make space for you to step forward"
"It was when I stopped searching for home within others
and lifted the foundations of home within myself
I found there were no roots more intimate
than those between a mind and body
that have decided to be whole"
The Bottom Line
The Sun and Her Flowers is a female's process of growing and healing from a heart-breaking experience. It sheds light on how a woman could cope with loss. As mentioned previously, the critics of the book were based on the simple language and smooth style of writing of Rupi, the talented Indian writer.
This unique style might be very convenient for other poetry fans. I highly recommend the book to every woman on earth to read and empathize with Rupi's story and her own story as well. This book is an aesthetic feminine inspiration that deserves to be on the shelf. Women united is the best cure for female hardships in life.
