Praise for Just Because He Says You’re Beautiful…

“Girl…your book rocks! I completely resonate with your message and wish I had a book like it to read when I was dating.” ~Akirah, Pennsylvania

“I just read your book and I love it! It’s so witty and fun. And totally relatable!” ~Bri, Virginia

“As I read this book, I wished I was given a ‘manual’ like this when I started to date!!!” ~Samantha, Florida

“I thought I’d let you know that I ordered two copies of your book and sent one to my daughter in CA. She actually read it, which is a big deal because she never reads anything except what she has to for school. Then she passed it on to one of her friends. She is home for the holidays and was telling a friend here about it and gave that friend my copy. So, I never read it myself yet, but I can tell you that it seems to be striking a chord with the 20-somethings. Congrats!” ~Stephanie, Wisconsin
