Finding My Way: A Memoir by Malala Yousafzai

BATB score: 8/10 😊

Best as: damn, sometimes we forget that Malala Yousafzai, Pakistani education activist, is just a girl nothing special and she deserves to just be a girl nothing special

Best to: a coming of age memoir of a Pakistani girl in Oxford University in love

Best for: you have to know who Malala Yousafzai is and you should have read “I Am Malala” book first

Best quotes: “As if the worst thing that ever happened to me was the most interesting part of my life.”

“To the men who ran the world, I was just a photo op, not someone worthy of their time and attention, even when I needed it most.”

“Remember that your world is new and unknown to them [parents] - and they’re afraid of losing you.”

“I understood how easy it is, especially when you’re young, to get caught up in an idea of yourself. You might inherit an identity and feel obligated to carry it, even as it crushes you. You may be certain of your path and have every step planned out. It’s hard to imagine your allegiance, ambitions, and desires will ever change.”
