5.0

if i say this is a must-read for everyone, you’d think “ah the book about womanhood, glad u enjoyed it!”. but you don’t know how this book will change you as a person. 

i’m a woman and i thought i’d relate to this book.

to a certain extent, i do. but it somehow still reveals what i hadn’t thought of, being a woman. being a woman, there’s always this lingering pain, at every phase of your life. 

this review doesn’t do justice anyway to this book, i have so many thoughts in my mind, unexpressed.
