Book Reviews of Jemima J: A Novel About Ugly Ducklings and Swans
Book Review: "Jemima J" needs a warning label
Summary: 2 Stars
Jemima J can be an enjoyably light Sunday afternoon read for adults, but I would not recommend this book to impressionable teens. The story line is a fantasy that younger readers may not be able to discern from reality. Developing an eating disorder does not make your dreams come true. It is infecting yourself with a debilitating disease, and no guy is worth that. Writing a nonchalant book about unhealthy weight loss does not seem to be responsible writing, especially for an author who claims the book is a true lesson in life. And finally, the message this book sends about finding confidence through changing yourself to conform to society's representation of beauty is degrading to women. I do not suggest reading this book for an uplifting or empowering message.
