Words are a powerful thing. They can help or hurt...even more than sticks and stones at times. But the worst kind of words that hurt are the ones we repeat to ourselves. If we keep telling ourselves negative thoughts about how we're not good enough or pretty enough or whatever, sooner or later we believe them so hard no one can tell us differently.Teenagers have it the worst. Because they are just developing into a separate entity from their parents and learning independence, they are in the midst of determining who they are. In Entertaining Angels, Maddie is an overweight teen. She has told herself that she is not pretty enough or thin enough to be worthy of anyone. Her defeatist self talk has caused her to go about as low as she can. This story is her journey of self discovery that will leave the reader inspired while still having a few surprises through the story. *I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*
