A very important message about women being treated unfairly and as objects. I loved the plot and the characters had great development. I recommended this to any girl, its a great read!
when a book is just so brutally honest that it makes you so uncomfortable, thats how you know it has hit its mark. also: pedophiles can suck my dick and go to hell
Meh. Doesn't bring anything new to the conversation. White girl experiences her first discrimination. Let's talk more intersectionality, my friends!

Marin is a typical good girl. Good grades, good behaviour. She has always followed the rules, even the unspoken ones. She and her best friend are co-editors of the schools paper, under the supervision of everyone's favourite teacher, even Marin's, Mr. Beckett, who also goes by "Bex" with the students. But one day everything changes when Mr. Becket crosses a line. Marin is left horrified. Did she do anything wrong? Is all of this her fault?
"Rules for Being a Girl" manages to describe so clearly what it is to be a young high-school girl discovering what feminism is really about. How you might even be scared to call yourself a feminist, because you've been taught (unconsciously) that that's a bad word. Marin's story shows how once you start to really pick up on injustice you cannot stop doing it, you register everything and you need to make a choice: to keep living like that or to try to "unlearn" what society has been passively teaching you and make a real change. It's like you are finally able to see clearly after being in the dark for so long. Also,I also celebrate how the authors were able to create this book with a very compelling storyline, include important information about feminism, have a cute guy that's in no way toxic, violent or forceful, and still be relatable and true to its core.
I recommend this to anyone who has or is or wants to make a change and reflect about the way this word we live in works. Definitely it's 5/5 ⭐ for me.
