Everyone thinks it's perfectly normal for a public school counselor to talk about faith and the Bible when she's working with students. Lydia, the bullying counselor, is a little too perfect. The anti-bullying Code the "nice" kids go by still is kind of over-the-top touchy-feely. Kylie has such a complete turn-around that it's just a little too good to be true. It's still got some issues, I'm not going to sugarcoat that. I'm actually glad that I did, because it's much better than its prequel. That's why I still chose to review Sorry I'm Not Sorry, when I probably wouldn't have otherwise. I didn't particularly love You Can't Sit With Us for its plot or characters, but it still held a special place in my heart because it was the first book I ever got for free as a read-to-review. I've never read the first one, but I got a copy of the second book ( You Can't Sit With Us - click to check out my review) in January.
This is the third book in the "Mean Girl Makeover" series. "Sorry I'm Not Sorry" shows girls that they hold the power to stop bullying through mutual understanding and acts of love. It's hard for tweens to imagine why a bully acts the way she does. After a rough year with bullying backfire, will Kylie decide to become more empathetic with her peers? As Kylie plots revenge on Tori, she attends therapy sessions, where she reveals a few details that might explain why she finds power in preying on her middle school peers. Without her posse to aid her and other peers to torment, Kylie focuses on the person who stole her GVMS popularity crown: Tori Taylor. After bullying a fellow GCMS student, Kylie has been expelled-"and "she" "has to attend mandatory counseling. "Sorry I'm Not Sorry" tells the story of Kylie Steppe, former queen bee of Gold Country Middle School. The books show solid biblical solutions to the bullying problem set in a story for tween girls. Written by bestselling author Nancy Rue, each book in the Mean Girl Makeover trilogy focuses on a different character's point of view: the bully, the victim, and the bystander. Parents, students, and teachers have amped up solving the bullying problem for a networked generation of kids.
According to the Ambassadors 4 Kids Club, one out of every four students is bullied-and 85% of these situations never receive intervention.
