Format: Paperback book

Description: This book holds personal significance because it reignited my love for reading. After a period of not engaging with books as much, Girls Like Us reminded me of the power of storytelling and the way literature can connect us to different perspectives. The novel explores the experiences of four young women navigating teenage pregnancy in the 1970s, shedding light on themes of choice, agency, and societal expectations. Beyond my personal connection, the book speaks to broader histories of reproductive rights, gender roles, and the struggles that young women have faced across generations.
