PERFECT
Young Women Talk About Body Image
edited by Helen Hines
£5.99
Make-up and push-up bras - spots and braces - tattoos and piercings galore - eating disorders, dieting and exercise - all skin and bones or fighting the flab - drop-dead gorgeous or bad hair day - skin colour and culture - identity and belonging - rebelling or conforming.
We're all in it together. No one likes the way they look 100% of the time ... or do they? In Perfect teenagers talk about what they love and what they love-to-hate about their looks. Full of embarrassment and laughter, moans and delights, frank advice and revelations, this book is a must-read for all young women.
