Book Review
I am really glad that I took the time to read this book! I am not gonna lie, I was kind of expecting an almost boring biography, but thank heavens I was wrong. This book is more about how a teenager plummeted into fame kept her head on straight and didn't compromise on her values and how all teenagers can do the same and make a difference even with a smaller/different platform. It's nice to see that I'm not the only teenager in this world that hasn't gone freaking crazy. Believe it or not, people, there are young people out there that aren't interested in partying and drinking their lives away. I liked how there were little "challenges" at the end of each chapter. My favorite chapter in the book was the one on dating. With so many people it's one extreme or the other: mindlessly hooking up or straight out courtship. It was nice to get another perspective on things that I believe in as well. There CAN be a happy medium, you know. She had a lot of good ideas on how to keep a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship Christ centered without having a chaperone breathing down your neck at all times. Another thing I liked about this book is how plainly written it is. This girl dosen't sugar coat stuff, and I for one appreciate that. I prefer it when people get straight to the point (maybe because that's how I am with most things). I would highly recommend this book to teenage/preteen girls everywhere.
Blessings,
Madilyn
