Description
In Girls Under Pressure, J. J. Jonas takes a humorous look at the impossible expectations teenage girls face—and the friendships that help them survive.
In “The Emergency Meeting of the Girls’ Bathroom Council,” lip gloss, uneven eyeliner, and Homecoming gossip turn an ordinary school bathroom into the headquarters of a daily struggle for perfection.
“The Slumber Party Beauty Summit” brings the same questions to a late-night gathering filled with pizza, beauty commercials, fashion magazines, and enough cosmetics to stock a department store.
Funny, relatable, and ultimately affirming, these poems challenge the pressure to be prettier, more popular, and more perfect. Along the way, six girls discover that laughter, friendship, and being themselves matter far more than meeting someone else’s impossible standards.
