Charlotte (184 KP) rated Girl in the Walls in Books
Oct 17, 2021
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.
