Being a Girl by Hayley Long
3.0
I read this on recommendation from a library training I took. Since I work with teens I am all the time searching for material that they will like and relate to.
This will definitely be a book that I recommend not only to the teens I work with but my own daughter when she grows up. There was a need for an updated "puberty book" in my opinion. I feel like all the ones out there are from the 90's or early 2000's when things like selfies and cyber-bullying didn't exist. This book did a fantastic job of touching on subjects that girls really need to know and understand. Although repetitive, I also loved that the author said how every girl is different. It may have been said over and over and over, but it's needed, especially in today's society.
