Blog Tour: Dear Teen Me


So as part of the Dear Teen Me blog tour, where authors write letters to their teen selves, I decided to ask my friends (Teens, of course!) what they thought about DTM when I lent it to them. I'll only be posting their first initial for safety reasons.

Dear Teen Me is one of the best non-fiction books I have read. It's humorous and serious, dealing with real life situations. These true stories deal with abuse, eating disorders, first kisses, and true friendship. This book is full of real advice and lets you know that you're not alone, someone has gone through what you're going through.

I'm not usually into non-fiction books, but Dear Teen Me was an exception. It was emotional and deep and I wanted to know more. It must've took a lot of courage for authors to share their experiences and it's heartwarming to know that people aren't alone in these situations.

This is a seriously hopeful book. I wasn't born when these things happen, but the fact that these things happened then and now shows that we definitely have to stand up to these things and appreciate what we have. Some letters made me cry, some made me laugh and I loved each of them! Non fic isn't usually my thing, but this? This was great. Thanks to Nikki for lending this to me!

MY REVIEW-
This was definitely a deep and emotional book and y'all know that nonfiction isn't my thing (or my friends' apparently!) obvious by my blog name! But I have to agree with my friends. This was definitely emotional and heartbreaking, heartwarming and laugh-out-loud. It's gratifying to know that there are people who've gone through some of the things we have, whether they're serious situations or innocent. I loved delving deeper into my favorite authors' lives, even if that does sound weird! If you're fans of any of these authors, if you love non fiction, if you just want a break from your norm, definitely pick this up!

  3. I am not a non-fiction girl, even though I have tried several times. It has never worked. But this one interests me like no other NF has. It sounds like it might just be pretty awesome. My library has a copy on order, so I think I might see what it is all about for myself. Thanks for the review(s)!

Welcome all! I'd love to hear what you think, even if they're lies saying that my reviews are fantastic. I take flattery in all forms ;D
