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.

The first section, the one about the father, made my heart ache for this girl. Having a good relationship with my own father made me appreciate it that much more. I know that this kind of relationship exists, but it still hurts to confront it so head on.
I loved the female empowerment in the last section of this book. Women are allowed to have this strong connection with themselves. They do not have to have a man to feel good about themselves. I'm not sure why this section hit me so much, but it did. There is a sense of acceptance of one's own self. Of one's flaws and one's past. It's calming.
