Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

More of Me by Kathryn Evans


This is a YA book and has some of the characteristics of a YA book focused on young women.   But!  It explores feelings and frustrations which should never be confined to a gender bias.   It also deals with genetic engineering which is at the root of the drama.

Teva is a young woman going through all the fears and concerns of  most 16 year old girls.   This is a hypothesis since I am reasonably sure no one, that is no one knows what is going through the mind of a 16 year old girl.   I say that with affection as I was lucky enough to spend part of my professional career as a high school guidance counselor and believe me when I truly feel no one, not even the teen knows what is going on in a 16 year old girls mind.   The most interesting thing is that some of those “girls” are now adults that I count as friends and they survived the mysteries of that time of their life.  

I was truly shocked at how  much I liked this book.  It is a testament to the author that she has written a book that can be thoroughly enjoyed by a literarily jaded adult and young people not just young women.

I highly recommend the book, no violence, no guns, bombs or fast cars, just a very good depiction of what kids go through even without genetic manipulation.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
