Framed as a letter to a dear friend about how to raise her baby a feminist, this book is We Should All be Feminists turned up to 11. I shouldn’t need to say anything more to get you to pick it up.

If practical personal finance books aren't your jam, perhaps you need a woo-woo personal finance book. And in that case, you need Jen Sincero's You Are a Badass at Making Money. She delves into the universe and energy surrounding money. She suggests mantras and meditations for figuring out what you want and how you're going to get it. Some parts felt a little far-fetched, but that may just be my own energy working against me.

It's about time we got a modern scoliosis story. (Sorry, Judy Blume. I love you and Deenie, but times have changed.)
Rachel Brooks just started seventh grade and has to wear a back brace. As she figures out how to function with a big, awkward turtle shell, she also deals with normal teenager things like friends and boys and soccer and dances. And bullying. Her mom went through the same thing at her age — and had surgery for it — and the "You're so lucky; I had it so much worse" grates on Rachel. The brace makes common things more difficult, but it also helps her deal with her problems head-on. Just because her torso is in a shell doesn't mean the rest of her needs to be covered up. She stands up for herself and kicks ass on the soccer field.
Braced brought back so many memories I didn't know were still locked away in my brain about my time as a 13-year-old with new metal in her spine and a plaster brace to keep her safe. It's the perfect portrayal of this twisty-turny time so many teenage girls go through.
