Sunday, October 31, 2010. Book Review: Not That Kind of Girl. Not That Kind of Girl. 2010) by Siobhan Vivian. So many other bloggers have highlighted the best parts of this book more eloquently than I can, so I'll keep it short. The best thing about this book is the way it explores the complexity of feminism and empowerment. I really like the concept for the novel and enjoyed it as a story, but I honestly wasn't that moved by it. I bought it expecting to really like it- a lot-. Not That Kind of Girl.
