A review by theinfinitebookcase
Tomboyland: Essays by Melissa Faliveno

challenging hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

This book was everything I wanted and more. Faliveno touches on many more topics than I had expected - sexuality, gender, womanhood, motherhood, depression and self harm, sexual assault, our relationship with our body, our relationship with our homeland - and I enjoyed the highs and lows, the funny moments and the dark ones as well. Faliveno’s complicated relationship with gender and sexuality mirror my own, which was a comfort to read as I’d never found it expressed in the same way before.
