Guts

Guts by the same classic author who did the books, Smile and Sisters, Raina Telemeger! And this one isn't gory at all, trust me on that. This one is a little more close to home for those who are looking for a reassurance in teenager trouble and anxieties. Rana is having troubles with the flu and often finds herself feeling sick to her stomach, thinking she's going to puke and is self conscious in a lot of things. She won't even eat certain foods because they're giving her those weird feelings of puking. What's even more interesting? Rana is going to a therapist to help her with her troubles! Will puberty help her discover who she is or give Rana more trouble than she thought possible?

This one is something I wish I had growing up. It talks about anxiety and how it's a little troublesome in your day to day life - that and puberty. I find myself following the tips and tricks that Rana uses a couple times a week. There are different things which cause us to stress out or become anxious that may not have the same effect on others. But we can all help each other get through our troubles. Stress management hasn't always been my strong suite but it's starting to help me get the stress out in a creative outlet - writing or doodling when I need it.
