Book Reviews of l8r, g8r (Internet Girls)
Book Review: Social commentary
Summary: 4 Stars
I find this book fascinating. And I find the reactions it gets in the reviews even more fascinating. This book is a social commentary on the life of high-school girls, their joys, their fears, their heart breaks, the parents, and the friendships that survive it all.
The content is naughty at times, yes, and whether that reflects reality I cannot say. I found this book thanks to my visit to a family with a 12-year old daughter, a demographics I'm otherwise not exposed to, as child-less 30-something male.
What's both surprising and a tad amusing to me, and, in my opinion, this is one of the hallmarks of this book, is that it provokes such strongly differing reactions between the two demographics that seem to read it. On the one hand, the teenaged readers who view it as a commentary of their own lives, finally a book in print that publicizes and expresses how they often must feel themselves, and that thereby validates these feelings, the dilemmas, the drama and the exhileration. On the other hand, the concerned parents who view the book as unwelcome agitation of their kids around topics such as sex and drugs that they'd rather keep them away from for some more time, and the fear that presumably underlies this anger that it'll make it harder still to "get through" to their kids.
No longer a teenager, neither a parent, I have no judgment about either, but if I had to say something to either group, I'd say to the teenaged readers that while life does contain drama, sex and boys, and that all these feelings are valid, it is not all that life is really about, and what looks big and insurmountable now will make you smile and laugh about a decade from now; this is entertainment, just like life on TV isn't really like life in the real world. To the incensed parents who are fearful that this book will deter their kids from the righteous path I'd say that this book shows you one way how to get through to your girls, how the girlfriends support each other, empathize with each other and (some of the time) hold judgment.
