It's Book Review Day: Girl on Girl
Hey there, Reader Friend! Book I just finished: Girl on Girl by Sophie Gilbert I just finished reading Girl on Girl by Sophie Gilbert, a non-fiction departure from my usual fiction picks. The book explores how pop culture shaped girls coming of age around the turn of the millennium, and how those influences still ripple through our lives today. The provocative title drew me in, especially since the book actively critiques the sexualization of women. It’s vivid, unsettling at times, and important. One chapter in particular felt like a horror movie I couldn’t turn off. The book ultimately ends on a note of hope for women and our future. I’d recommend it if you think you can handle it. Happy Reading!
