A review by izzywolf
Girlhood by Melissa Febos

5.0

this memoir was truly amazing and I really didn't expect to like it as much as I did. I had to read it for a philosophy requirement but now I feel it has more personal meaning than that. Melissa Febos is deeply personal in her writing yet it feels universal. This book speaks so much to what it is like to grow up as a girl and be in a culture that is, in a lot of ways, against you. She also speaks beautifully about finding yourself and learning how to grow.
