Book Review: Lights Out: An Into Darkness Novel by Navessa Allen

Book Review:  Lights Out: An Into Darkness Novel by Navessa Allen Or: How to Accidentally Get Emotionally Attached to a Hot Mess in a Dystopian Wasteland Let me start by saying I picked this book up because the cover screamed “moody post-apocalyptic romance” and I was emotionally in the mood to watch the world burn — just not literally (looking at you, 2020). Also, my husband was watching a documentary about concrete. Again. So I needed an escape.

Understanding Teenagers: A Parent's Guide

Understanding Teenagers: A Parent's Guide  Hi everyone! As a parent, I know firsthand how bewildering the teenage years can be. It’s like you’re suddenly dealing with a whole new species, and the rule book seems to have gone out the window. If you’ve ever felt that way, you’re going to want to hear about this book I’ve just finished reading: "Teenagers: The Evidence-Base" by Matilda Gosling. Right off the bat, let me tell you – this isn't your typical parenting guide. It’s not filled with outdated platitudes or guilt-tripping advice. Instead, Gosling takes a refreshing, evidence-based approach, weaving together research from adolescent psychology, biology, neuroscience, and family systems to give you a clear understanding of what's really going on in those teenage minds. It’s about replacing the myths about teenagers with actual data.   What makes this book so good? It’s like having a cheat sheet for adolescence: The book is designed to be a practical tool...
