The characters are all very vibrant, alive and distinct from each other. I really felt like I got to know them through these short snapshots into their lives. However, I struggled to make it through this, maybe because I'm accustomed to a more linear storyline or plot. It was lovely to see into the characters lives but it didn't motivate me through the whole book. Still recommend, but not my personal favorite.

Nicely delving into intersectional feminism, and imperfections in every point in the spectrum of individuality

Not a fan of the lack of capital letters and full stops though

this is a love or hate novel. i love it.

I started this book expecting a novel, but instead I found a collection of stories all collected by a fil rouge: an all-encompassing portrayal of womanhood. Twelve different people, each describing the struggles, satisfactions, joys and perils of being Girl, Woman, Other.
