10 Things for Teen Girls by Kate Conner
** I was sent a copy of this title for the purpose of this review. However, my own thoughts were used and not influenced in any way. 10 Things for Teen Girls by Kate Conner Being a woman is hard. Especially during your teenage years. Life is confusing, you don't know who you really are, and the expectations are endless. I am so happy that Kate Conner wrote a book to inspire teen girls. She lets them know that they are not alone. The feelings they are feeling are the same ones that all girls their age are feeling. And most important of all...they are good enough! Kate Conner has a style of writing that is humorous and captivates the attention of the reader. She makes teen girls want to read and listen to her advice. Unlike when their parents say it and it goes in one ear and out the other. I am so glad that I am able to give this to my daughter who is just starting into the teen years. She is starting to notice things about her body, personality and brain that she does not … [Read more...]
