As someone who grew up with crazy curly hair I remember feeling so insecure from a young age. With the rest of the girls in my class strainteing their hair until it was pin straight I was jealous of those who woke up and had the perfect hair, effortlessly. I also fell in line and made my hair just like everyone else's and it was miserable. Constantly waking up early, making sure I kept my curls in line, and the health of my hair suffered greatly. Reading this book, I wish that this was kept in all classrooms so all young women feel inspired to be themselves and not change their image for friendships, boys, or social status. Being yourself is the most freeing feeling, and it is when you feel the best in you're own skin. This book made me think about all the time I wasted trying to be someone I wasn't, and what's the point? All in all the book was a great read and I highly recommend this one!
