B4UD8 - Read It Before It's Too Late!

As a HUGE Hayley Dimarco fan, I always try to pick up her newest books, and B4UD8 was no exception. B4UD8 relates biblically sound truth in an interesting and relevant way.
The eight tips shared throughout the book are relevant to young people - whether they have never dated or have dated a million times! Even people in serious relationships can benefit from reading this book, and being reminded of how important it is to have your own life, and to look for red flags within your relationship.
The book's conversational tone, and its blunt honesty are refreshing in a world where dating books tend to be boring, and only outline boundaries for "how far is too far." This book talks very little about actual physical purity, but reading it gives you a new determination to honour Jesus in every area of your dating life. And, honestly, by applying all the standards in this book, the struggle for purity becomes less of an issue.
The only disappointment that I found in this book was the constant use of "texting lingo." I know that texting lingo is supposed to be 'relevant' and was probably used in an attempt to relate to teenagers, but honestly, the book would've been a million times better without it! At times it just made the book confusing, and came across as 'trying a little too hard.'
All in all, I would definitely recommend this book to other teenagers, but would advise the authors to tone down the texting lingo 'b4 they write again' View All Music And Book Reviews By juliac24 | View juliac24's Profile
