Reviews

This reads like a cosmo magazine from 2009 attempting feminism. Inherently not terrible points but the delivery was lacking. You'd have to be very new to feminism to learn much from this and if that's you, I could list a few better options (rage becomes her and everyday sexism for a start). This is full of "don't do this" and "always do this" but really doesn't support statements with any evidence.
Also, don't call me love, hun or babe. Just no.

SUCH A GOOD BOOK. EVERYONE SHOULD GIVE IT A READ.

I honestly did not know what to expect when I grabbed this book. The title was catchy and the cover was pretty. But OH MY LORD, this book completely read me. Yup, I didn’t read this book, this book read me. After every chapter I kept on realising toxic behaviours I’ve let slide, and toxic behaviours I have to work on.

The take on feminism that Given talks about is so well explained. Every aspect (from self-love, to the patriarchy, to LGBTQ+, to privilege) was beautifully portrayed and explained. I feel like I’ve learned so much about the negative, and so much on how to change and be a better person.

Honestly, the only two words I’d say to Given if I ever get the chance to talk to her is: Thank You.

Please read this book. It will change the way you see things for ever.
