What Girls Are Made Of by Elana K. Arnold

5.0

Nina is taught that all love is conditional. As a result, she’s not a very likeable person. I see a lot of complaints that she’s an unlikeable narrator and that’s why they didn’t like the book. She was supposed to be. She’s supposed to be weak and the things we don’t like about ourselves. It’s explicit and hard to read at times, because it’s what it needs to be. I wish that I had a novel like this as a teenager, because it’s informative about things I don’t know much about. TW: abortion. I think teens should have more info about this at their fingertips.
