So I just finished this book fairly quickly. I got to over the spelling, the mention of the word slut, the fact that Sadie thought pills are only for crazy people but I really liked it. I personally loved Slap and Lola. Slap would always chime in with some comment. But I really liked it--quite an easy read but the material was slightly more mature than expected. It was a nice read overall :)
Surviving Ophelia: Mothers Share Their Wisdom In Navigating The Tumultuous Teenage Years by Cheryl Dellasega
This book was not as insightful as i hoped it would be. It was a bunch of stories about how the teen girls was goin down hill. I only found one mother in the entire book that had a clue, that ultimately it is there life to make something of it or screw it up and some kids have to fall on their face before they get it. I have a tumultuous preteen and the best recommendation i seen in the book was the wilderness camps but no one tells u it will cost over 20 grand to send them!!!!! it only got show more a 2 star because of all the resources she gives at the back of the book otherwise its a 1 star. show less
Mean Girls Grown Up: Adult Women Who Are Still Queen Bees, Middle Bees, and Afraid-to-Bees by Cheryl Dellasega PhD
I'm am so thankful I don't have to tolerate the people described in this book. I have met adults like this, and my reaction is to simply make certain I never have to be around them. Life is too, too short to put up with that kind of manipulation and meanness. Recently four women were fired for "gossiping" at their office, and I cheered when I read about it in the paper. Creating a negative work environment SHOULD be grounds for dismissal. To me, anyway, THAT is a real solution.
this book was a thrill i cant wait to read the other oney yea
