In this fascinating work, columnist W. Bruce Cameron describes the simultaneous descent of his life into chaos and his daughter's trek through the teenage years. He covers the changes in his daughter's relationships to her family and friends, her seeming loss of sanity, and her physical changes and disturbing interest in boys. The story is covered in hilarious detail, as many aspects of life in general (and life with a teenage girl in particular) are covered, and lampooned.
I must admit that I found this book somewhat disturbing. My eleven-year-old daughter and I have been reading some American Girls books together, and the thought that this loving flower will soon turn into a teenager has my blood running cold!
But seriously, this book is a hilarious, tongue-in-cheek look at the experiences of a father of a teenage girl: what he experiences, what he feels, and how he (unsuccessfully) tries to deal with it all. It is a must-read for any father of a present or future teenager. I highly enjoyed this laugh-out-loud book, and highly recommend it to you.
