A review by aniyahanelis
Girlhood by Melissa Febos

4.0

“My self hatred was not self generated. It was an expression of the environment outside of my body, which, it eventually turned out, I could change,”

Girlhood is a beautiful collection of essays about Melissa Febos experiences growing up and becoming a young woman. Febos has such a way with words that I can’t describe. I often found myself highlighting sentences because the6 were relatable. My favorite chapter has to be Wild Animal. 4 stars.
