Jell-O Girls: A Family History by Allie Rowbottom

4.0

Jell-o Girls is an incredible family history that tracks how family trauma echoes through time and space and how patriarchy flavors the lives of even the most privileged of women. This book is a hidden gem that echoes the sentiments of Sylvia Plath and some how finds a way to use a gelatinous snack food as the most fitting of metaphors. The ending seemed a little rushed and disconnecting from the rest of the book, but overall I HIGHLY recommended it!
