A quick and easy read that tackles an important issue. While the first 60 pages are far from the best or most interesting writing I’ve ever read, Rules for Being a Girl is a fantastic story. I wanted to scream at the characters or cry with them many times. Very happy to have been recommended this book.

Important subject material, reasonably well executed. A tad predictable and occasionally the characters got overshadowed by the Agenda, but otherwise decent. I think my biggest beef was the handling of the relationship between Marin and Gray.

In particular, it was extremely frustrating to watch her treat him like crap and break up with him even though he’d been nothing but understanding and sweet. Pretty awful of her and she should’ve done much more to atone for his forgiveness to seem justified. Alas.juliabeaumont's review against another edition

I just got done reading this book and it was most definitely a really good read. There were many different things present in this book that had me throughly engaged and loving every moment. I’m really glad I picked this book up as it brought out a huge theme of feminism throughout the book.
The writing style was really well done and easy to follow. The whole book flew by really fast since it was super easy to understand. I loved every minute of it, which you can tell with how I finished it in under a day.
The overall message and theme being portrayed within the book was exceptional. Being a Women especially in today’s society with so many expectations for you is difficult. It’s hard for young Woman growing up sticking to what we’re told we have to do. I loved that the Author talked about the many different messages so young Women can learn and talk about these issues themselves and later educate others as well. They’ll be able to see the messages within the text, and know that Feminism is important and we should all be feminists and challenge today’s societies expectations.
Overall, I’d recommend this to any Women. Young or older. They’ll be able to learn from this whole book and the many different messages in-front of them and do what they will with that information.
