I read this book with my step-daughter, who is 13. It's a sort of self-help book about self betterment, and I thought it had a few words that any teenager should read. We both really enjoyed the book. It was uplifting and inspiring. Although neither of us necessarily needed to let go of anything negative in our lives, we interpretted the book in a different way. We 'let go' of our negative views of ourselves. We 'let go' of people who had hurt us, people who had passed away, and people who we couldn't bare to think of anymore. But I could see this book helping people who need to 'let go' of more severe things- an addiction, mental illness, depression, bad relationships, etc.It is easy to read and simply formatted- which is why I thought it would be appropriate for a teenager. And I enjoyed the fact I could share it with her. She is mature for her age and I think many mother/daughter duos could take the same route we did in reading it together. It was a spiritual read. I'm a pagan and she's a Christian, but we could both agree that there was a spark in this book that helped lighten us a bit. I enjoyed it very much and would highly recommend it to any teenager girl or young woman.
