You Are Among Friends [Kindle Edition]

Lindsey Markel (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

A fresh and reassuring take on adolescence, You Are Among Friends is an empowering collection of advice, encouraging young girls to remain confident and loyal to themselves as they grow up in a society that pushes insecurity and self-doubt. Blending sisterhood and positivity with fresh writing and sharp humor, You Are Among Friends is a loving and fierce manifesto with shades of meaning for all ages.

"Markel completely embodies the cool older sister, with admirable charm, hilarious timing, and inspiring confidence." --Annalee Schafranek, Bitch magazine (Fall 2009)

"When the cover of People features the blonde, busty, 23-year-old Heidi Pratt bragging about her 10 cosmetic surgeries, girls need books like You Are Among Friends to remind them that they're fine just the way they are." -- Cristy Scoggins, Smile Politely

This review is from: You Are Among Friends (Kindle Edition)

I should be completely honest and tell you I met the author in college. She is a rare spirit. Some people fade from your memory but Lindsey Jane Markel stays on the surface of my memories almost a decade later.

This is one of the first purchases I made for my Kindle. I would recommend buying the physical book so you can lend it out as soon as you're done. It's amazing. Ms. Markel doesn't urge you to be a better person or a different person, just to let your own individuality shine through. To be the best you. To be the REAL you. I want to give this book to every woman I know. While the advice is wonderful for younger women, it's inspiring and honest and fresh and REAL for every woman. Would that anyone had told me these things when I was younger. Buy two: One for you and one for your friend. Buy one for your niece, your sister the girl next door. If every woman in the world read this book, the light from all the extraordinary women would be overwhelming. I can't wait to see it.
