Hello everyone!
Just thought I'd recommend a book to you all called God Loves Ugly by Christa Black. It really is an amazing read whether you are religious or not. It is more of a self-empowering kind of book anyways. The title pretty much means that no matter how shattered or "ugly" you feel, everyone is loved. Everyone has something they're going through and it doesn't make them any less of a person or beautiful. The author shares her story and her battles (being molested, having an eating disorder, etc.) in such honesty. Then she takes her story and tastefully relates it to your life and gives great advice. The more I got into the book, the more empowered I felt. I've never had a book keep my interest so much before. My description of it does not give the book justice. However, I think any teenage girl, any woman, and possibly even a man could and should read this book. I promise you won't regret it!
