4.5/5

This is my kind of non-fiction. Reminiscent of pop-culture essays (which tracks as Gilbert writes for The Atlantic), Girl On Girl tackles it all- the music industry, the porn industry, reality tv, paparazzi, politics, and social media- and how it connects to the realities of women everywhere. As a girl mom and a high school teacher, the way women are portrayed in the media is always at the forefront of my mind. The resurgence of diet culture and decline of body positivity in the past year has been alarming, and it’s important that we continue to use our voices loudly so this generation of women aren’t impacted the way mine was by what they consume. Will be recommending this to everyone!
