Cow Girl by Kirsty Eyre
5.0
Billie is following her dreams of doing a PhD in London when her father falls ill and has to return to Yorkshire to take care of the family farm and the cow business. Is she ready to be a Cow Girl?
I was surprised of how “Cow Girl” is a refreshing and funny story but at the same time it shows how the world can change depending on your sexuality, because Billie is a lesbian and not everyone in Yorkshire accepts her choice. This story was eye-opening for me, being a woman is never easy in a “man” business, you feel downgraded but if you add to the mix your sexuality the situation becomes unbearable. But don’t worry, Billie doesn’t let anyone dismiss or degrade her, she is who she is and if you don’t like her you can always leave.
There are a few stories mixed in Cow Girl, on one side there is the farm business and how is being bought by the big brands, and on the other we have Billie’s love life and the situation of Billie’s PhD and how competitive is this world.
Don’t be fooled with the cover of this book, this is not only happy book but it will also make you think and change the way you see the world and I’ll admit that I loved every page. It is not easy to find a story with so many layers but original and interesting at the same time.
I would recommend to take a few hours of your daily routine and start reading “Cow Girl”, it is worth every minute. Ready?
