I loved Lou, the main protagonist and thought she was a very vivid character with depth, richness and lots I could relate to. Whilst the book has a very serious subject matter underpinning the plot, the story is really about Lou and her journey maturity, independence and self-discovery.
A thought-provoking book capably written with sensitivity.

The first few chapters threw me. We're led through different times and it took me a while to adjust and understand....... totally worth it!
Going alongside Emily in her journey of self discovery was definitely like being in a different world. It was quite immersive and so bittersweet and heartbreaking, yet it filled me with warmth. I won't go into any details about why it made me feel this, I want you to experience this for yourselves.
Each character had a good solid personality and the interactions between them were well written.

A book of self discovery, anxiety and acceptance.
Girl in the Walls is heartbreaking and empowering. It's beautiful and sad. I feel for the main character, the way they slowly pick their way through thoughts, feelings and removes the labels given by society to become their true self.
The reaction from the parents is fairly balanced but I think is a tamer version of what some people struggle through. I'm glad though, it's nice to see a gentler response.
I'm blessed to have family that are finding themselves, that have been able to openly say "this is me" and have support (early on in a journey that is so right and is clearly the right path for the younger relative).
Well worth an afternoon read. Keep an open mind and heart.
