If you've read any of my other recent book reviews, you'll already have read the first paragraph where I say that every book starts off with the full rucksack of stars and that I'm always hopeful that they will all still be there by the time I close the back cover.
Apparently this book is only 29 pages long so I should have it done, dusted and reviewed within an hour or so lol
Let's get going shall we?
The first 10 pages were good and the author skillfully avoided using several well-known brand names... until she got to page 11 when the author used a well-known online bookshops name that I got this book from so the first star is, unfortunately, coming off.
I think/hope I was a pretty OK kinda teen - there were slanging matches and disagreements with my also teen brother of course, but I think/hope that I was quite a pleasant teen to be around at least some of the time, judging by this book (cue my mum disagreeing of course lol) My bedroom was a pigsty of course, I will admit that, and I waited as long as possible to do my homework but I never had a bucket of water tipped over me to get me out of bed and I loved baking with my mum and Nana. The only time I got ratty was when it was "that time of the month" and that was purely because I was in absolute agony that was diagnosed as Endometriosis 15 years after it all began. I even loved fruit and veggies back then and became a vegetarian at 11 much to everyone's surprise lol It's now 34 years later and I'm still a vegetarian even now as well as still loving my fruits (especially cherries and red delicious apples) and vegetables (I willingly live on muesli and salads during the warmer months and I've usually had my five-a-day by the time I've finished my lunch every day, which is another thing that hasn't changed).
My tip for teens who refuse to eat fruit and veg is to find out what exactly they *do* like (as in flavours rather than specific foods) then find a food that is mainly that flavour (my go-to is sweet things so I've always loved sweet apples and grapes), then start by offering them, for example, toffee apples and take it from there.
Just finished reading and it really *was* only 29 pages long, so a nice, quick read and makes me feel for the parents of modern-day teens if they go through everything this book talks about on a daily basis!
