A Girl Like That by Tanaz Bhathena
3.0
A Girl Like That made me think and contemplate about a society I know nothing about. In that way, I think this book is so important. Learning about people who are different from you and how their lives are affected by politics, religion, etc. is a big part of developing empathy (a skill many have left undeveloped in this day and age).
On the other hand, this book portrayed the society within its pages in a deeply negative light. In some places, yes these things may be true, but in others they are not. The book did what it was meant to do. It sparked a conversation and piqued my curiosity. It was just very very sad.
