I have to first say that I am not the demographic for this book. I am in my mid 50’s and am in a different place in my life. However, I found the book very insightful and was filled with great advice. I was very impressed with the practical advice and the time to shine moments. This would be a fabulous graduation gift for young women.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to experience this book. Rate it a 4.5

This book exceeded my expectations! The stories and wisdom that the author has written about is relevant no matter what age you are. Even being a little older than the target audience, this book had me digging deep and reflecting. The author narrating her own book made the experience more enjoyable because she sounded so enthusiastic and proud about what she had written.
I am so grateful for this ARC that I will need to buy another copy for myself and others to make sure I can take more notes

Amazing self help for young ladies from a Christian perspective. Without being preachy author Jessie shares life's experiences on subjects
boys, friends and family, health and beauty, faith, mindset, life skills. Each chapter has journaling space. And I'm totally getting it for my 15year old daughter. I wish I had something like this growing up! Packed with insight about self-worth, self-discovery, and how to respond to all the crazy hormones roaming around in those early stages of life. This gem of wisdom has spot-on narration!

This is a great book that talks about all the topics young adult girls care about from a Christian perspective. These topics include boys, relationships, attraction, friends and family, faith and mindset. This book gives tips and tells stories to help you navigate and live your brightest life. The book gives a lot of explanations, so it’s very easy to understand. The chapters are short and the language is easy, so it's not hard to understand, even for a younger audience.

I really liked the book. As a girl who is seeking a relationship with God again, this book really helped me and the tips she talked about were really helpful for me. I would definitely recommend this book to any Christian girl. I feel like anyone could use some tips and I think the stories are helpful too.
