Every page has a few powerful lines aiming to convey their sentiments. How the struggle of a girl begins even before she is born. The book tells some very vivid and heartbreaking truths of being a girl child. Her struggles and the atrocities that are done to her. The subjects touched upon include female foeticide, sexual and domestic abuse, slut-shaming, sexism, and our society&#8217;s obsession with having only a boy child. The author doesn&#8217;t hold back and tells the truth of the situations girls are submitted to.<\/p>\n<p>I loved the format of the book and the way it was illustrated. To be honest, I&#8217;m not a fan of this style of writing a book but I do appreciate the conveyance of powerful emotions through a few lines. I also admire the boldness of the author in her writing.<br \/>\nThere were lines in this book that I loved and there were lines that I found very simple in comparison.<\/p>\n<p>I would definitely recommend this book. It can be read in one sitting. It makes you think and reflect on some of the injustices of this world. I hope more people read books like this and change their mindsets regarding women.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">Find me on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tavleen_words\/\">Instagram<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tavleensoni\">Twitter<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/user\/show\/32793447-tavleen-kaur\">Goodreads<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Add the book on Goodreads Buy on Amazon Genre:\u00a0Non-fiction Format:\u00a0Paperback Pages:\u00a0160 Publisher:\u00a0Fingerprint!
