What Girls Are Made Of by Elana K. Arnold
5.0
This is the kind of raw, imperfect book I constantly crave. It is the kind of book I know many people won’t like due to a messy, unlikable main character—and that makes my heart ache, knowing how much I relate. It can be healing to read about someone else quietly breaking.
This is for those who were harmed by the gory reality of growing up. For those who don’t always make good decisions. For those who are confused and angry and feel so small. For those who aren’t entirely sure of the line between being a child and an adult. For those who feel so ugly in a world that values beauty.
It is for those who need to accept that they are okay, that they are human, even when everyone else says otherwise.
I am a proponent of rightful rage.
