The Restless Girls by Jessie Burton
5.0
Iβm going to admit this: I fell asleep halfway through the book π but fret not, itβs because it felt like such a comfortable read that it lulled me to a sweet dream. In my head, I read out The Restless Girls word by word, just like I would tell someone a bedtime story (Iβm definitely saving it for my children, if I ever have any β¨) .
The story is not only full of wonder, but it is also every bit fully women empowering π«π₯ I love the very close sisterly bond between the princesses, the magical elements in it, and how clever the girls managed to outwit others.
And I absolutely love the fact that the princesses are brown girls. When I was young, almost every princesses (from the western culture) that I knew of had been white; I believe that itβs time that we prove that no matter what your skin colour looks like, you can definitely still be a princess π π Rise and slay, girls! β¨π₯ .
