Midnight Milkshakes: Ice Cream And Suicide Vol. II Reviews


  • Valentine

    I feel like this one was kind of... worse than the first one. The first one definitely had some poems that struck a chord. This one though, it really seemed like the same thing was being said as the first, with a few changes in wording. 2/5 Stars - Not the greatest, but still a decent book.

  • Mahi

    A note to the poet;

    "Yet your shy legs crossed anxious
    Concealing your most precious parts"

    A woman's most precious part is her vagina? Huh?
    Maybe that's why she left you.

  • Felicia

    RAW, EMOTIONAL & PASSIONATE


    I loved every pieces of this book. Majority of these poems hit me right in the heart. It was like Ray writes the thinhs we feel tjat we ourselves cannot say. Ive been this heart broken, I've been this in love, I've been this rejected and Ive been the convenient choice between the other having two lovers. I know what it feel like to be second best and Ray does a perfect job of portraying the agony of what it feels like. I loved this collection.

  • Dominique

    I have to say I am a new fan of the author. I read Vol. I and was completely captivated by his writing. This one did the exact same thing. I have so many highlights throughout this book. You can feel the pain and the betrayal. I could not put it down.

  • Martina

    Er...it is not that good, it's not exceptional, it has nothing special. The first book wasn't excepcional neither, but it had potencial. But this is definitely a downgrade. The poems are basic and kind of boring. It had zero power. And it was very difficult to connect with their words.

    Beautiful

    This book.was.beautifully written. This book painted so many pictures of so.many different emotions. My only hope.is that I can one day find more raw and honest poetry like this.

  • Sarah Elizabeth

    Just like vol. 1 (Ice Cream & Suicide), I wasn't impressed much at all with Jack Ray's poetry. Yet, there was a small handful of poems/single lines that were thought-provoking and brilliant enough to not make me fully regret reading this book.

  • Sincerely Bluejay

    Better than the first!

    It is more authentic and there is more story telling to this one. The pieces also flow better from one page to the next.

  • H.R.

    Okay

    While this is still a good book and the poetry is still good, I don't feel like these pieces resonated as well.

  • Alexandra

    I took a risk and got the 2nd poetry book in jack rays serious and it was okay if you tend to like darker poems then this is the book for you.

  • Marina 🌊

    This got me thinking about my nonexistent boyfriend

  • mar✰

    And in the last moment we shared I told you I loved you And in the last moment we shared You reminded me you never did

  • Rose Marie

    there's no synopsis or anything to warn you so I will, content warning; self harm and suicide

  • Allie Bush

    Better than the first.

    I enjoyed this one more. I think it spoke to me more but it still wasn’t one of my favorites.

  • Megan Lewellyn

    better than the first one and there's a few i liked but definitely room for improvement (i think he's going the right direction!! :] )

  • Arkady

    bootyhole 2.0☹️☹️

  • Steph

    “You were so thankful to have me in your life. You struggled to imagine a day going by without me. But somehow, someway you were still the one to get rid of me.”

  • eri

    This world without you It seems so meaningless
    Eyes frosted with bloodied tears
    Blinds me from moving on
    Seeing only this moment
    Forever living this life without you.

    It’s called Everlong…

  • Wren

    This just came off super whiney and it was just almost unbearable. This probably didn't require a volume 2

  • Katherine

    I read it in one sitting! It was better than the first. More intimate and personal as opposed to the vagueness of the first book. Which is funny because after reading the first one I thought to myself “he really needs to add more details and make it more personal.” and this one did just that and so flawlessly too.
