A Book for Her by Bridget Christie
5.0
I absolutely loved this book. Bridget Christie already made the comparison to How To Be A Woman, so I don't feel too bad for doing so, but in some ways I felt it actually outshone Caitlin Moran. Bridget Christie manages to address intersectionality, and topics such as FGM, in ways that Caitlin Moran doesn't quite manage to get to grips with. But all the while, Bridget Christie makes slightly ironic, slightly flippant jokes, keeping everything feel light and entertaining, even when there's very serious topics being discussed. Occasionally it waned and diverted a little too much for my liking (the introduction alone felt far too long and drawn out and tried to make too many fart jokes in what should have been a fairly short reasonable introduction - although maybe that was the point?) but overall I adored the book.
