This is the perfect beginner's finance book. It breaks things down so easily without shame in a very easy to read way. I love how Tori never makes anyone feel bad if they've made financial mistakes in the past and she acknowledges systemic issues that keep people (especially women and people of color) impoverished. It's definitely a book you should read slowly so you can absorb all the information and do the journal prompts (which are a really important addition; knowing why you make the decisions you make allows you to actually change). You don't have to be a woman to read this; Tori includes many other voices too to speak on different topics, which I appreciated. Financial Feminist is really worth the read whether you're just beginning to enter the adult world or fully immersed, whether you're in massive amounts of debt or you have a massive savings account you don't want to touch. She holds your hand through it all in a way I wish adults did when I was a child. I'm going to make my 16 year old brother read this next.
