“What do you actually want from your life?”
This is one of those books that feels like it was written for me.
For all the girls who had a breakup with a best friend that you thought was your better half. For all the girls who survived their abusers. For all the girls who survived and still lost themselves. For those who know loneliness like an intimate partner. For all those girls who never found a way to connect their mind to their bodies.
For all those girls who just yearn for a community of other women, but have never fit in and are always left outside the intimacy - but don’t understand why.
This made my heart twist and was a dense amount of sadness, but also enough hope to keep moving through.
Ouch and wow.
