What's Wrong With Me? Review

I was sent What's Wrong With Me? to read and review.
I found this book very interesting.
My favorite part of What's Wrong With Me? is how honest the author is about the things she considered she did wrong. 
It made me think about the things that I do daily that are "wrong". 
I can only imagine how hard it was for her to write this book since nobody really wants to write about the things they do wrong. 
But so much can be learned from reading this book. 
Another aspect that I really enjoyed is that Daree wrote about what she SHOULD have done in these situations and how to handle situations like she encountered. 
What's Wrong With Me really opened my opens about how I handle the hard things in life.

Not only does Daree discuss what she has done wrong and how she should have handled them but she also backs up her beliefs with scriptures. 
What's Wrong With Me? is the perfect book for teenagers and young adults. 

About What's Wrong With Me? (Courtesy of Amazon)
Premarital sex. Drugs. Dating violence. Dropping out of school. So many choices, good and bad, are available for youth in America today, and girls continue to be especially vulnerable. They often blame themselves for things that go wrong in their lives, even when it's not their fault. They ask, What's wrong with me?, or they hear, What's wrong with you?! and brace themselves for the denigrating comments to follow. It's a timeless theme: girls grow up in every generation struggling with self-esteem, confidence, body image issues, uncertainty about dating, and insecurity about their identities. Where do they turn for answers or role models? Friends and peers don't make for such great influences and mentors when they are floundering themselves. Images of women of color int he media (TV and music videos) reinforce an impossible ideal and lack of self-esteem. How do girls today make decisions that will positively impact their future and not become victims of their surroundings? How can they affirm their Christianity proudly and not succumb to the deteriorating values of modern society? In this empowering Christian self-help book, Allen weaves her memoir from 20 years of journaling with lessons that still ring true for girls today, about such topics as accepting their identity, adopting a healthy body image, dating building self-esteem, developing a positive attitude, dressing for success, setting goals, spending money wisely, handling anger and depression, and embracing their singleness, discovering their life purpose, and keeping God first.
