The Whole Story of Half a Girl by Veera Hiranandani
4.0
I received this ARC through Netgalley.
I loved this book from the beginning. I read it in two sittings. The writing is great and is perfect for young adults. The characters are all easy to relate too and are well-developed. I liked that this book focused on someone who is half of so many things and is trying to figure out who she is. As a teacher I see so many students of mixed heritage who don't know what to call themselves. One of my favorite parts of the book is when someone asks Sonia what she is and she says, "I'm a girl." I would definitely recommend this book to my students in the future!
