Hey Michelle, great post! I think that there needs to book for teenagers! If I see around me it's all anxiety and body-consciousness for teenage girls. There's plenty of books for women at work. For teenage girls? Not sure. (I can see it now: You writing it in public. Using Tiktok or any other channel where teenagers hang out to share your thoughts, perhaps even before you write it!)

Oooh I like the writing it in public thought and hearing from teenagers. I did think that there would have to be significantly fewer words than the original and perhaps pictures? Interesting. Thank you.

Absolutely YES to pictures! I think the format might also be part of the discussion: do girls like reading books still? Could it be a 'playbook' (with quizzes and questions)? Videos? Something practical (a game?). Anyway, stopping now, my imagination is getting carried away.
