A review by suhmown6
You Have a Friend in 10A by Maggie Shipstead
3.5
I liked or really liked half of these stories. They are definitely jarring— no matter how many times I read about it, it’s never easy to hear about the objectification and sexualisation of young girls. This book pushed me to some limits.
While I found the stories I enjoyed immersive and visceral, I found myself skimming paragraphs in other stories. Not all was crated equal in this compilation. This is the perfect example of a book I would recommend getting from the library if you like short story collections and can stomach reading about what it means to be a woman in the worst way.
