Book Review- Hayley DiMarko

I have just finished reading two books by Hayley DiMarco and both are fantastic reads. The books that I read were Sexy Girls: How Hot is too Hot?, and Technical Virgin: How Far is too Far?

First off Sexy Girls is a great piece on what signals are sent out by the clothes you put on in the morning. She covers everything from piercings to Hollywood role models and their effect on those who see you. Technical Virgin talks about (well you guessed it) sex. She covers little about the physical effects of sex on your body, but covers the emotional and spiritual effects wonderfully.

One of the areas I liked about both books is her bluntness about both subjects. she does not tip toe around the subject matters, but dives right in to cover what Christian girls really need to hear. She covers the emotional baggage of sex in such a real way that it will cause any girl to stop and think well before she is ever in the positions the book covers.

In Sexy Girls the chapter called: A New Sexual Revolution goes over how to be a sanctified dresser, she covers this to show girls how to make a change to their wordrobe is a positive manner. She covers many steriotypes in a girl's world. Talking about the sexual dresser, the tease as well as the anti-sexy girl. The book is an attempt to get any girl to look at their choices of clothes in a biblical and Godly manner.

Both books start off by a quiz or excercise to get the reader to find out where on a scale they belong, so that when they read the book they can pick out the areas that hit at a more personal level. The end of the books have a prayer or an accountability contract that wraps up the content of the book nicely. With lines to answer questions throughout the book the reader is allowed to make the book an even more personal journey.
