Dear Teen Me blog tour




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:

I really wasn't sure what I was going to think about this book, I am not really a non-fiction reader. It was fun checking out some of the authors I have read and see them use a little of what they know now to influence their teen self. 

I think we would all like to go back and tell our teen self what they need to do to survive. I know I would like to have told my teen me to study harder and even though I might hate school to remember it will help in the future. 

Over all I thought it was an interesting book to read and what I like is you don't really have to read it from page one to the end. You can pick out any author and read their letter to their teen self. You can read them all or just a few, but all in all it was interesting.
