Shelby spends her time in the gym training. Her goal is to be a professional fighter. It is a surprise to everyone when her boyfriend loses his cool and breaks her nose. How can the person she thought she could trust betray her so much?
Fallon strives for perfection. She's organized to a fault, and everyone knows it and depends on her. Her grades are top notch, and she knows her parents never have to worry about her. But, what happens when someone like Fallon decides that she must step up to make sure her little sister and everyone else deserve better when it comes being educated about a woman's body and sex?
Jobie is a good girl. She's creative and cute. She spends most of her time online. It's amazing the sites she's found to help her with personal care and ways to attract attention. Her goal is to increase her followers and find ways to earn money for the things she believes she needs to make herself beautiful.
All three girls have different reasons for starting the club they dub SHAFT Class. It is supposed to be helping girls (and eventually, guys) have a better understanding of their bodies and sex than the traditional sex ed course provided by the school. Their intentions are good, but as the word spreads about the class, there are those who are critical, and those who are determined to shut it down and ruin them.
In HOW GIRLS ARE MADE author Mindy McGinnis takes on topics teens struggle with around the world. Self-esteem, self-worth, physical and emotional abuse, the pressure created by social media, and the expectations of family, friends, and society. Questions are raised and questions are answered but is there a chance that not everyone will appreciate the good intentions of her characters.
