Things a Bright Girl Can Do by Sally Nicholls
4.0
This book was brilliant. I just simply loved looking through the eyes of these three unique protagonists who fought in their own ways to be listened. It was a pretty easy read but very intense!
I just loved Nell's charisma and personality: she is for me the one who was THE heroine of the book. She's the one who's evolves impressively from the beginning to the end. I have to admit that at first I had assumptions at how the author was portraying her but I just loved her in the end.
I got annoyed at May's petty and very childish attitude. I think that her naivety just ruined some passages for me, and I would have liked her to really feel how she hurt Nell especially, I did think that their "make-up" was quite quick, unrealistic and a bit fake? Otherwise, May was the perfect example of another face of women's emancipation and I liked that about the book. We had all different kind of behaviours among the movement which brought material and shape to the author's writing.
Evelyn' s story might be the one that I liked the less. I think that I got a bit disapointed for her that she gave up on her convictions so fast and especially, we don't get to know how she reacted when women got the vote. I would have had liked to get her opinion too as the three of them were the only protagonists of this book.
