Red: The Next Generation of American Writers -- Teenage Girls--On What Fires Up Their Lives Today
by Amy Goldwasser
3 out of 5 Stars
Overall this was definitely a worthwhile read. It was so refreshing to read writings by 13-18 year olds that didn't contain terminology such as 'lol' 'bff' or 'lmafo'. Thank God...American girls can express their thoughts and feelings without reverting to live journal slang or whatnot. If I was on a college applications committee I would be impressed by some of the honesty and candour of these girls. I thought some of the essays - particularly the one written about a rehab wilderness program in Utah -- were better than others.
