On the Naive but Honorable Self-determination of Teenage Girls

by Amber Gayle

A high school girl from the West Coast travels to Germany to spend a year as an exchange student. In detailed letters home, she recounts foreign flings, wild parties, girlfriend dramas and difficult host parents, as well as the discoveries she makes about her path in life. Amber’s writing is irreverent and playful, a delightful, uncensored look into the mind of an adventurous 16-year-old.
