Backwards Beauty: How to Feel Ugly in 10 Simple Steps by Jessie Minassian
4.0
Short version:
Get this book if you have a girl of any age or you're a leader of young girls.
Longer version,
Jessie Minassian has a beautiful message. And that message is, "You.Are.Beautiful." In her book, Backwards Beauty, she tackles the "desire to be desired" head on. She doesn't hide anything and even uses some of her own weaknesses to illustrate a great point- It's okay to way to be pretty, but it's how you're carrying that out that can be the issue.
She tackles issues like pride, weight, comparison, and even pulls backs the shades the advertising business. Nothing is off limits.
At the end of each chapter, is a few review questions. This is why I would suggest this being done in youth groups. It's a fantastic study. Too many young girls are sacrificing too much in the name of beauty, and I truly believe this book could make an amazing impact on them.
