Review 2020 red

It’s fair to say that I am quite a few years older than the target market for this book and I did wonder how I was going to review it after receiving a gifted copy from Walker Books. However, I can still remember my teenage years vividly, plus, I have two teenage children and another who has been through the teenage years so it is not like I am that out of the loop.

What I will also say is I have never heard of Nikki Lilly or her YouTube channel before so I knew nothing about this inspirational young lady. I do know what it is like though to be the parent of a child who has to have numerous operations, spend a lot of time in hospital, and has an illness that can not be cured. I commend Nikki for her outlook on life and her desire to bring joy to others and be a shining light.

This hardback book is split into nine sections, plus Nikki’s final words at the end. From ‘Be Yourself’, to ‘Dare to Keep Going’, and ‘Kill then with Kindness’ the book has many a wise word and speaks to teenagers directly rather than an adult telling them how to control their tempers, moods, feelings. This has been written by a teenager for teenagers and she understands what they go through every day.

Within these nine sections you will find advice on how to approach parents – believe me, we are more approachable than you think, how to have a digital detox, make time for some TLC, and allowing yourself to just be you. As well as make-up advice, how to make a moisturizing face mask, DIY lip scrub, and may more as well as recipes and life hacks.

The book is a complete guide for teenagers and it is written in an engaging and fun way too. Nikki has also opened up about her condition, her family, and how she feels. There are plenty of photos within too.

The book is truly wonderful and inspiring. It would be worth investing in for any teenager. The book isn’t about the teenage years being all rosy and lovely, it is a truthful book that shows that teenagers have bad days, angry days, emotional days alongside fun, joyful, and exciting days. It is a book about learning to love yourself and be yourself. As Nikki quite rightly states ‘I’d rather be myself by myself than be with someone I can’t be myself with.’
