Rani, Anita

£9.99

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.
