Don't throw money down the drain. I ordered books through them and they never showed up. This is good book ruined by a terrible seller. If you wish to purchase this item, make sure you go through someone other than Bookling_is_reliable. After emails of them saying they would show up, it never happened.
However; given Amanda's young age, the content of her messages, and the likable style absolutely redeemed this work in my eyes. I was harsh judging Ms. This book includes short and valuable message for young girls. The easy, flowing style and the short pointed messages attract the attention of our girls, who don't have the patience to read through long articles and complicated messages. Ford's new book because I was comparing it to the book that she co-wrote with her mom: "between mother and daughter".
What I love about this book is that it connects every issue they go through in such a simple but powerful way. I bought this book for a friend of mine daughter especially because she has special needs. A great way to keep your teens connected to the parents.
Having said that, I have two 14-year-old granddaughters who receive NO beneficial information on maturing, sexuality, dating, etc., from their parents. I would not have purchased this book had I known it was written by a 21-year-old. I left this book in their bedroom at my house, and they asked me, "Is that book for us." I said yes, and they responded, "That's good, because we have been reading it." They seemed to like it, so it is a useful tool for stimulating discussion at the very least.
It includes party ideas, advice on school, parents, popularity, and boys, self-esteem boosters, perspective on life, and reassurance that everything will turn out right in the end. Be True To Yourself has a worthy piece of advice for every day of the year. This book's helpful hand helped me through many tough times, and I recommend for every teenage girl to read it also. Being a teenager in today's world is difficult, but with this book it makes our lives a bit more bearable. Teenage girls are bombarded with "perfect body" images all over the media, which creates a warped body image, and are pressured to have a boyfriend and receive good grades. Amanda Ford's witty writing went straight to my heart, and at the final page of this book I felt like I knew her personally.
