Women Don't Owe You Pretty by Florence Given
2.5
A lot to unpack. I probably would've loved this book when I was a teenager but as someone almost in her 30's it felt very juvenile in some parts, especially regarding the complexity of friendships and relationships.
Florence says she's 21 when writing this, which makes a lot of sense. I'm not saying 21 year olds are immature but she also says she's had 1 male relationship and it wasn't a very good one, so I don't think she should be advising on those relationships without other experienced, credible sources/references.
Also saw the controversy too about a poc author from the same publishing house that had a v similar book prior to Florence's.
Despite all this - I loved some of the quotes especially relating to people pleasing & actual feminism.
