My latest love for a book! I did a little "speed reading" this weekend, and also watched a movie that was made from this book... and I would recommend it for any of you who have daughters or work with young girls. Amazing! Girl Aggression... relational aggression. It is real. I know I have done it to others... and I certainly know that I have been victim to it. It is a twisted thing, and unfortunately we don't magically grow out of it when we turn 18 or 21. Our culture expects our girls/women to be aggressive and assertive and sweet and nice all at the same time... unfortunately that would create manipulators. I need to soak in this book a little more, but I know I am changed from reading it!!!

You should start a book club!
Between you and Linds I don't have to read!:) You guys just write up the reviews and tell me the best parts!:)
Laughing at the comments right now!
You don't know me, but I have a 9 year old daughter and I am addicted to a good read! I can't wait to check this one out!
I think i might need to read that. I was one of the mean girls till it happened to me in Junior High.
Im seeing some of that in Em already...
