Megan is Girl Power!

It would have been nice to get an explanation of where that term came from in regards to Megan but it was a well told story. Very much a cautionary tale that appearances can be deceiving. Someone's life that looks so good from the outside being an utter emotional wreck on the inside yet when they ask their friends and family do what they can to love and support. A little more romance than BBYP and a lesson to not try experimental energy gels on an empty stomach or multiple of them in one session.

Fun summer read with memorable characters. Also loved the moral of the story, and it's relatable to every woman looking for power within herself.

Con este libro Katie Cross nos lleva con el mismo ritmo de lectura a traves de momentos importantes de la vida de Megan, a quién conocimos en Bon Bons to Yoga Pants.

Durante todo el libro nos alejamos de la Sociedad de la Salud y la Felicidad, y nos vamos con Megan a las montañas... donde creo que lo más relevante que ocurre es que se da cuenta de cuales son sus preoridades.

Me gustaría que Katie Cross le sacara más jugo a la historia y terminara de cerrar ciertos temas que a mi parecer quedan sin resolver y que al menos a mi me gustaría saber que sigue.

Katie Cross escribe de manera sencilla, dinámica y sin mayor complicación, lo que logra que puedas leerte el libro en cuestión de días sin quebrarte la cabeza.

Girl Power - what is it? Read this beautiful book and find out. It explores what makes a girl tick and what makes her powerful. It was hard to put it down and I was very satisfied when I finished it! You need to read it!!!

I loved I Am Girl Power! Megan's story is super empowering and interesting. I love following her adventures in camp and getting to know her family. The story feels so natural and real and RELATABLE. This story was about her self-love journey and how she realizes the next steps on her journey, even if they aren't what she originally expected. I love the little sparks of growing friendships and relationships that I can't wait to find out more about in future books. Every story I've read in this series has been such a beautiful story of personal growth and development. The society and group of friends truly are about health and happiness, and I just want to know, where do I sign up!?

First off, not even going to lie. My name is Ashley and I did judge this book by it's cover. Honestly it look like it would be chocked full of an annoying heroine and corny romance lines. But I gave it a shot and boy was I wrong. I was ashamedly suprised. This focused more on characters and family dynamics and there was little romance at all. The protagonist was also competent and relatable. Geez just realized that competent sounded rude but I've had a rough month of idoit heroines so I needed this. 
The camp aesthetic drew me in the most. Yes I was one of those kids who watched Parent Trap and Heavyweights, forever wanting to go to summer camp. This was highly entertaining and fun. I mean all you could imagine. A squirrel in the oven, pranks, a lake, and bears. Really enjoyed the comradery of the staff and Megs attempts to fit in and hang with the boys. Oh man I giggled way too much. 
This story was very fast pace almost to the point were I thought it glossed over too much. Another 100 pages this would have probably been a 5 star read. I started this book first even though it is the second in the seires. These are all apparently standalones though side characters make cameos in each one. 
I am Girl Power was recommended to me on Likewise when I asked for books that might help my stepdaughter enjoy reading. I found that reading about someone relatable to your situation helps in the enjoyment and interest. So Meg starting a new job worry about finances is the perfect book for a new graduate haha. 
The story had some great family dynamics and at times was very wholesome and warm. The title of this seires was a little disappointing. It didn't focus much on introspection and mindfulness. Absolutely loved the to-do and shopping list. Also the recipes made the book very immersive and fun. To me the ending left a lot to be desired. Neither Megs job or any of the relationships were sewn up at all. I'm wondering if it will be in the background of the next book.
