Empowering and energetic, The Right Sort of Girl is a coming-of-age story of identity. Trying to navigate her Indian world at home and the British world outside her front door, Anita Rani was a girl who didn' t fit in anywhere. She shares with us the lessons she wishes her 16-year-old self could have known then: You do not need to bleach your skin Be your own superhero You are Indian enough You don' t need to compromise on your own happiness And that there is no such thing as the right sort of girl. Anita takes you into a world you might never have been to before: the life of a second-generation British Indian woman up north. Loaded with all the baggage and conflict that label brings. Never holding back, Anita allows us to access every part of her life, her failures and mistakes, the good and the bad, how she managed to become the powerhouse she is whilst battling against being too white inside her home, too brown outside of it. Through sheer determination and learning to adapt to any situation she found herself in, she overcame tricky odds and found a new way to define who she is. Ultimately, she created a space for herself to be seen. If you have ever felt alone, different, or just not the right sort of girl, this is the book for you. Fizzing with energy, hilarity and charm, Anita' s memoir is one for the ages.
Warm, honest and funny, filled with hope and inspiration. . . A must-read for every young person with big dreams -- Nikesh Shukla Funny, touching, nostalgic and occasionally veering into beautifully controlled, quiet rage, Anita' s story is a must-read. If she' s not exactly "the right sort of girl", then who is? -- Viv Groskop Like a bloody good natter with your down-to-earth friend who never sugars the pill -- Shappi Khorsandi ' Warm and wonderful, Anita' s book is a joy from start to finish' -- Emma Kennedy Anita Rani' s empowering, brilliant memoir is bursting full of insight and resilience. Her words are elegant and powerful - they will resonate with women everywhere for generations to come. Truly a splendid read in every way, I will be recommending this book to everyone I know. * Nikita Gill *
