Anyone with self-esteem problems, problems with being picked on, people with body dismorphic disorder, bullemia, anorexia, or any other self harming condition can benefit from reading this novel. Knowing you're not alone can make a huge differece in a person's life.

It's similar in format to a book called post-secret that collected anonymous post cards from people who shared their deepest secrets in a public way, by publishing them in the book. The effect is the same, those who read it will find at least one secret/issue that they can relate to and then all of the sudden this thing that they obsessed about and thought only they had to deal with becomes a normal thing that everyone knows about and everyone shares in. It relieves stigma which can destroy a young girls self esteem. This book sounds amazing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10722825881346148647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040911948950965125.post-83705622158502687772013-04-22T17:44:52.259-05:002013-04-22T17:44:52.259-05:00Great concept for a social-issues book and seeming...Great concept for a social-issues book and seemingly well-executed. You're completely right about the challenges teens face and about their feelings of "wanting to fit in." But stuff like this can show them that they're not the only ones feeling those ways. Everyone's trying to fit in; they're just too embarrassed to say anything about it either.<br /><br />The real merit seems to be that it contains real responses from real girls. It's no longer just a self-help author or an activist telling you how it is and the way you should feel.<br /><br />Good concept and a good choice.Zak Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01947173775818091094noreply@blogger.com
