I think this books very inspirational because it shows the will of people to survive and keep going during hardship. this book was also very sad because it was and injustice everything that happen to the Jewish people.

http://catalog.gpl.internal/ipac20/ipac.jsp?session=139E6432K652Q.541&profile=gcent&uri=link=3100007~!954204~!3100001~!3100002&aspect=browse_search_page&menu=search&ri=1&source=~!horizon&term=Loose+girl+%3A+a+memoir+of+promiscuity+%2F&index=PALLTI#focusThis book is about a girl who's parents recently got divorce and she was looking for some how get attention and stand out more. At the time Kerry Cohen was 11 when she realize the power that she has over men just for her body. She loved the attention she received and she just keep wanting more and more of it but she didn't realize that the attention she was receiving from man was all negative and it made her seem bad.

Loose girl : a memoir of promiscuity, was a good book it talked about how girls use their bodies to get any attention they could get from other people they don't care if the attention is positive or negative . It also shows that girls have a lot of self esteem issues and they try to cover it by having a guy telling them how pretty they are but in reality the guy is just looking after one thing and would say anything in order to get it .
