Dear Teen Me

Dear Teen Me by E. Kristin Anderson

About The Book:

Dear Teen Me includes advice from over 70 YA authors (including Lauren Oliver, Ellen Hopkins, and Nancy Holder, to name a few) to their teenage selves. The letters cover a wide range of topics, including physical abuse, body issues, bullying, friendship, love, and enough insecurities to fill an auditorium. So pick a page, and find out which of your favorite authors had a really bad first kiss? Who found true love at 18? Who wishes he’d had more fun in high school instead of studying so hard? Some authors write diary entries, some write letters, and a few graphic novelists turn their stories into visual art. And whether you hang out with the theater kids, the band geeks, the bad boys, the loners, the class presidents, the delinquents, the jocks, or the nerds, you’ll find friends - and a lot of familiar faces - in the course of Dear Teen Me.

My Thoughts:

This is a cool book. I think it is great for anyone who is a fan of YA authors, and just for anyone in general really! Wouldn't it be cool if you could write to your teen self? What would you say? If I only knew then what I know now.....this is a fun, quick read, and really heartfelt and true.
