This is my first time reading the author.
I cried about a dozen times reading this tiny little book. So I guess I loved it.
Nina is an amazing character. She's a realistic modern teen. I found her very realistic, beautiful, bold, brash at times, flawed but so real she lived and breathed.
The book contains stories between chapters that Nina wrote for a school project. The stories are about women, female saints and the terrible things they had to endure because of their sex. I loved them. They were amazing.
So much happens in What Girls Are Made Of considering the book is so short. I really felt for Nina.
This book is absolutely stunning.
