Ordinarily I don't read books like this, but I really love Carrie so I really wanted to support her.

Being 23 years of age, I'm definitely not the right age group for this book, but I think there are certain points in it that can help someone no matter what age. For example, dealing with social media and the kind of anonymous bullying that can happen - this is a problem that anyone of any age could have to deal with so any kind of advice on it is helpful.

The chapters about friends, school bullying and not being afraid of being your own individual person (and that means being on your own and 'dating' yourself) could all be very helpful to young girls growing up. The whole book is written in a way that makes you feel like you're having a conversation with a friend and sharing experiences which is great. If there was anyone feeling alone and reading this, I think that it could really help them. While there are some complaints about the standard of writing, I do feel that we have to remember that this book started as a blog by a twenty-something-year-old girl.

This is a must-read for anyone who is feeling a bit awkward in their teen years, or someone who feels like they need a friend. If anyone has little sisters (or indeed a little brother) this book should definitely be passed on.
