What Girls are Made of

Summary

What Girls Are Made Of by Elana K. Arnold is a raw and unflinching exploration of the complexities of womanhood and the myths surrounding romantic love. The novel follows Nina Faye, a teenager who was raised by her mother to believe that there is no such thing as unconditional love, even in romance. This belief is challenged and twisted as Nina navigates her relationship with her boyfriend, Seth, and the emotional turmoil that follows their breakup. The narrative delves deep into Nina's journey as she confronts harsh realities about love, sex, and the expectations placed on women.
