Written by Megan Fox

Narrated by Megan Fox

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“Heartbreaking…Go read the book, everyone.” —Alex Cooper, host of the Call Her Daddy podcast

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.

Reviews for Pretty Boys Are Poisonous

[LESVE ME A LONE · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

How is this empowering to women when she admits to returning to the man who abuses her and makes no real moves to improve her life? She throws herself at others' feet hoping to find joy in fixing them while they walk all over her. That's not empowering.

Wow ??? Megan, I see you. I heard you. I feel seen. Powerful, heartfelt with every fiber of my being. No other work could ever explain things as truthfully & powerful as your words here. This is for all the abused women, the dolls on a shelf or podium who have no voice or are unable to speak. Gain strength from Megan & run. I truly hope Megan keeps writing & I can't wait to devour more ?

I can appreciate the raw honest truth. Short, delicate poems as a means to express her past

[Candice Hale · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Women never deserve the carnage of men's fears, insecurities, and fragile egos. Megan Fox shows us how women can gain their strength and dignity back one day at a time in this collection.

Even as she tells the story of her own trauma, she has people say she is worthless. Beautiful words. And a heartbreaking similarity so many people share.
