Yikes. Parents heads up!

I generally read the negative reviews first and often look for an indication of who doesn't like a book. I did this here and I found a lot of the reviews seemed salty about advice to stay trim and healthy and the promotion of natural looking make up. I took that as a good enough reason to pay $4 for the audiobook.

I have two daughters. One could use some encouragement to put in a bit more effort. The other a little too eager to be glamorous. I was looking for some simple straightforward personal hygiene and style tips with an emphasis on not overdoing it. The title is of course obnoxious, but I figured it was targeted towards young teens and shrugged it off. I just wanted to make sure my older daughter wasn't going off into the world with no practice in how to looked polished and help my younger daughter avoid that overdone and precocious look I see so often.

Yikes! Craving attention from MEN? As a young teen? Sugar daddies in college? I was honestly was shocked. I have read articles about gen Zers like this, but was floored to find this in a book that is marketed toward teens. I'm so glad I previewed it!

That said, most of the advice here reads as though the author just did a Google search and regurgitated it with a peppy can do attitude, some really over the top stuff, and some frankly dangerous DIY beauty treatments.

Parents, do not get this book for your teens.
