Giving Up the V by Serena Robar

     

    I felt like a teenager when I checked this book out of the library. I was actually looking for a certain book but this one kept catching my eye so I decided to get it. I started to read it in the library and made sure the cover was blocked by something. Not only was I feeling like a teenager I was acting like one too. The opening scene is a 16 year old girl at the OBGYN doctor. I was embarrassed for her. After the doctors her mother was talking to her about sex and losing your virginity. I was reading  this part in the library and I'm sure my face was beat red. I'm 25 and the thought of having a conversation about sex with my mother makes me want to die of embarrassment. Yup I'm that kind of person.

    Overall this book was really good. It completely summed up the emotions of a high school girl. A lot of changes happen in high school and it can be a very confusing time. I would recommend this book to any girl 13 and up. I think it could help answer some questions. I know that you are thinking and yes this book is a work of fiction but some of the issues in the book relate very well to young girls. And of course the ending was my favorite. I closed the book with a big grin on my face.

Yes Please by Amy Poehler

    At first I was a bit confused by the book because it was not as funny as I had assumed it would be. However instead it was a  book with a life story and a sprinkle of humor. It showed a whole other side of Amy Poehler. We all know she's hilarious, beautiful, and smart but now we know why she is that way. I love how she is yearning to learn more and interested in the world. She loves her sons with everything she is. She is a true person with a gentle heart. I have always loved and enjoyed Amy Poehler's work but now I feel like its in a deeper way. I wish I could be her best friend even is she is bossy and could possibly send a text message about me to me. Keep being you Amy.

  

The back of the book was pretty funny. It's hard to read in the picture so I guess you will have to buy it for yourself to read it!

 

 

     I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who knows Amy Poehler. It's her life story and it has some great advice in it. From what I can gather from Amy's work and speeches is that she cares for the world, is someone relatable, and down to Earth. Like Poehler I enjoy hearing people's life stories and finding out their backstory. I think that really helps you get to know why they are the way they are plus you see what they have overcome. Great book!
