But when he breaks up with her, Nina is lost. What is she if not a girlfriend? What is she made of? Broken-hearted, Nina tries to figure out what the conditions of love are.

Critic Reviews
“"We think we know what girls are made of. But not always. And Elana K. Arnold removes the veilwhich is as gory as often as it is gauzy. What Girls Are Made Of shows the true, beautiful, and confounding complexity of women. This one will rip your heart out." Martha Brockenbrough, author of The Game Of Love and Death”
"Arnold interweaves myriad landscapes . . . into a narrative wholeness that is greater than its parts. Unflinchingly candid, unapologetically girl, and devastatingly vital."—starred, Kirkus Reviews
