This book, apparently like all of the books by this author, is complete trash. Over my dead body will my kids ever speak or act this way. I am a liberal, long-haired academic and yet I am disgusted at the lifestyles that this book glorifies for young teens. I understand that drugs and sex often happen early, but glorifying them in any book, much less a book aimed at young girls is completely unacceptable. This book is trash. Do not let your kids buy it.
