This is a book that encourages women. It urges us to appreciate how much God cares for us, and loves us, despite the messes we may get ourselves into.
A variety of subjects are covered. For example, there is great information about not trying to be everything to everyone. Instead, be yourself and try to please God–instead of trying to please everyone else around you. This is great advice for anyone no matter what their age. When the author followed that advice, she ended up in a relationship that resulted in marriage.
The author was also very transparent about mistakes she has made in relationships. She talks about regrets that she has had as a result, but also how God is forgiving and, with Him, we can go on with our lives and be blessed.
Although the book was targeted toward teenagers, I think it would be a better match for adults. A lot of the information would be helpful for teens, but for the most part, the writing style seemed on a more adult level. Because of that, I don’t know if a teen would stick with it to glean the good ideas from it. I believe lots of adult women would enjoy this book and should read it for themselves–and benefit from it.
This book would be good for mom’s to read, and then talk about the book’s topics with their teenagers. It would also be a good jumping off point to bring up other subjects that would also be positive mother-daughter discussions.
I thought the cover had good eye appeal, and that it would attract people to it. I was surprised by how thin the book is, it is only 58 pages. The author has a nice writing style, and the incidents she includes from her own life are very interesting. I give this book 4 stars.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Crosslink Publishing, in exchange for a free book review through the http://www.bookcrash.com book review program. All opinions expressed are my own, and I have not been compensated in any other manner. Despite my receiving the book free, it has not influenced my judgment, and I have given an honest opinion.
