The Right Sort of Girl

The Sunday Times Bestseller

Anita Rani

A second-generation British Indian woman, Anita Rani, shares her story of growing up in eighties Yorkshire and navigating her bicultural identity. From playing Mary in her all-white nursery nativity to trying to fit in with her Punjabi family while also trying to fit into the British world outside her front door, Anita always felt like she didn't quite belong anywhere. In this memoir, she shares the lessons she wishes her younger self could have known, including the complications of freedom, falling in love, and the legitimacy of anger. With tenacity, positivity, and humor, Anita's story is one of perseverance against feeling like the "wrong sort of girl."

If you want a book recommendation for your holidays, I can't recommend @itsanitarani's "The Right Sort Of Girl" enough. It's everything you want from a memoir - SO honest and intimate and funny. Every reader ends it feeling like Anita's their new best friend.      source
