[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I loved [u]Deanie[/u] when I was 10 but reread it recently and am so glad I did! I returned it to the library before my daughter could read it. Maybe now that she’s 14, and if she found it on her own, but I wouldn’t want her to tell people, “My mom told me to read this book about a girl with scoliosis who likes to masterbate.”
Oh - and I read “Clan if the Cave Bear” series when I was about 14. Yikes.[/quote]

I was so young when I read this-  maybe 10- that I didn't get that she was masturbating. It talked about Deenie feeling better and more relaxed when she touched her 'special place' and I was like ME TOO! because I used to pet/tickle my upper back when I was falling asleep. I reread it years later and was like hmmmm

But I did like the scoliosis description because it opened up my mind at a young age to what it's like to have to deal with physical discomfort or weird family dynamics (her mother was such a stage mom/b!tch- I remember she didn't like her wearing running shoes because she thought it made your feet 'spread' and she wanted her to be a skinny model). I liked peeking in at someone else's life like that and being thankful for what I had.[/quote]
