How to Be a Girl in the World

This is a good book for tweens. I read it with my mom so I could ask questions when I needed to. This book helped open up conversations about boundaries and friendships. I really looked forward to reading this book every day. Even my mom wanted to know how Lydia was doing!

I think the length of the book is perfect; I would have torn through it in one night because of the suspense had my mom let me! I felt more grown-up reading this book because it had big real-world issues. I loved that Lydia found her voice and was able to speak up at the end. I liked how descriptive each of the situations were; I felt like I was really there and feeling what the characters were feeling. I liked how the author described the characters in depth; I felt like they were kids in my school and their situation was really happening!

This is a great book and I highly recommend it to kids looking for bigger books with realist topics that could happen in real life!
