Finding My Way

Malala Yousafzai steps away from the icon the world made of her to tell a far more personal story - one of friendship, first love, anxiety and the slow work of figuring out who she actually is once the cameras look away. Tracing her path from a lonely, overprotected teenager to a reckless, funny, occasionally failing university student, Malala writes with unexpected humour and disarming honesty about nearly failing exams, getting ghosted, and finally finding peace with a past that once threatened to define her entirely. This is a coming-of-age memoir in the truest sense: less about the Nobel Prize and the headlines, more about learning to be ordinary, messy and human. A moving, funny, deeply relatable read for anyone who has ever felt boxed in by other people's expectations.
