The Girls Are Good by Ilaria Bernardini
5.0
Thank you to NetGalley and Ilaria Bernadini for a copy of this book !
I always find the best kind of books are the books that haunt you and I just know that this book will haunt me. An honest and therefore heartbreaking look at how young girls in sports are treated and damaged by those who should be protecting them.
Bernadini writes in such a chaotic yet cohesive style that the entire book is a masterclass in fear and tension. It builds and builds and builds and once you think its snapped it does it again and again and again, leaving you to feel like you want to vomit (I still feel like i might). This book tells a powerful and important story and carries warnings about our young athletes and their safety.
