Publisher's summary

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Megan Fox showcases her wicked humor throughout a heartbreaking and dark collection of poetry. Over the course of more than seventy poems Fox chronicles all the ways in which we fit ourselves into the shape of the ones we love, even if it means losing ourselves in the process.

“These poems were written in an attempt to excise the illness that had taken root in me because of my silence. I’ve spent my entire life keeping the secrets of men, my body aches from carrying the weight of their sins. My freedom lives in these pages, and I hope that my words can inspire others to take back their happiness and their identity by using their voice to illuminate what’s been buried, but not forgotten, in the darkness,” says Fox.

Pretty Boys Are Poisonous marks the powerful debut from one of the most well-known women of our time. Turn the page, bite the apple, and sink your teeth into the most deliciously compelling and addictive books you’ll read all year.

Amazing and breathtaking

The way Megan describes everything she’s been through at the hands of men is horrible but amazing she explains everything in such a way that it hurts and hit so hard I recommend buying both the audio book and physical copy as hearing it read in her voice was haunting and beautiful

Raw and to the point

She was raw & to the point. Very relatable. She did a great job putting words together when I couldn’t in those moments.

Jaw dropping

Beautiful, tragic, raw emotion of the turmoil she experienced. This story happens all too often. It can happen to anyone it doesn’t matter your race, age, looks, how smart or wealthy you are. I can listen to this over and over. Thank you Megan for letting us in.

The word choice

I enjoyed the reading by Megan. I do wish her poems were longer. The only poem I didn’t like was the one that included a “jk”.

Powerful words for anyone who has endured abuse. Megan is a beautiful writer and truly captured every emotion that you feel in situations such as these.

Speechless

These poems cut deeper than a knife ever could. Opened my eyes to the dark truth no one ever wants to hear or talk about. The truth that must be told and must be heard. Thank you Megan Fox for this deep dive into your soul. You are loved and you are not alone❤️
