This is a well written and easy to read feminist novel. Perfect for a beginner, anyone who is just starting on their journey on feminist empowerment.
I think this and books like this would be so useful for all young teens to read. For young women to grow into themselves, and already have the tools to enable them to be unapologetically themselves!
Loved the use of imagery in this book, it was fantastic, and the way the author compiled the book. It is a book of excellent quality.
Would recommend for beginner feminists!

I wouldn't say it revolutionary but I think it was an easy read that got me thinking. I was able to relate to several things and realise thing I had done to myself ( and others )which weren't the best and potentially hurtful.
However, the use of the word "multifaceted" made me want to scream. It was every chapter. So repetitive it made me want to go back and count.
Overall, an ok book for people just wanting to gain an entry level understanding of things

I’m really torn because I can’t decide whether I liked this book or not. It was quite in your face (or my face

A lot to unpack. I probably would've loved this book when I was a teenager but as someone almost in her 30's it felt very juvenile in some parts, especially regarding the complexity of friendships and relationships.
Florence says she's 21 when writing this, which makes a lot of sense. I'm not saying 21 year olds are immature but she also says she's had 1 male relationship and it wasn't a very good one, so I don't think she should be advising on those relationships without other experienced, credible sources/references.
Also saw the controversy too about a poc author from the same publishing house that had a v similar book prior to Florence's.
Despite all this - I loved some of the quotes especially relating to people pleasing & actual feminism.
