Book Reviews of The Notebook Girls
Book Review: A Nice Attempt But Preachy In Parts
Summary: 3 Stars
As a fellow Stuyvesant High School alumn (someone who was still in the building when these girls first entered), I picked up "The Notebook Girls" in part to relive my time there (and see if I could decipher which seniors and teachers they were really talking about when using pseudonyms) and in part to see how the other half lived. At first glance, "The Notebook Girls" really does appear to be a communication between four friends whose individual schedules don't overlap much so they devise a way to stay in touch. However, the book has been severely edited by that "grown up voice" that knows teenagers will be reading this book and wants to set a good example for them. The girls will be talking about something completely normal, like being mad at their mothers for no reason or smoking pot for the first time, and then a few sentences follow that explain why they know it is "inane or dangerous behavior" (respectively)-- and that is just ominous. "The Notebook Girls" is a decent look at friendship through the trials and tribulations of adolescence, but it would be stronger if it were just the real entries transcribed, without the addition of those little explanatory or judgmental nuggets.
