Synopsis:

Would you rather be liked online—or loved in person?

Social media can be great. But for girls growing up in a generation saturated with social media, getting enough “likes,” comments, and online friends can become an unhealthy obsession.

In Liked, Kari Kampakis offers positive and powerful insights to help girls navigate the digital age. Applying God’s timeless truths to modern realities, this unique resource dives deeply into topics like social media, friendship, identity, and faith—while ultimately encouraging habits that lead to real and lasting relationships.

Liked can help girls think through those questions that may stir wildly in their mind and heart, such as:

-Who am I?
-What is my purpose?
-How can I change the world and make an eternal difference?
-How can I love myself when I feel unlovable?

For anyone tired of the quest to impress—and ready to rest in God’s unconditional love—Liked is the answer. This book is a conversation-starter that will quickly unite mothers, daughters, sisters, and friends by speaking to the female heart and addressing the need for approval with wisdom, hope, and grace.

Review:

This book is aimed at girls ages 13-18, but even girls as young as 11 will appreciate some of the lessons, to be learned before severe peer pressure kicks in. And hinestly that IS what this book is about- it teaches girsl to have faith in THEMSELVES, who they area as daughters of the King, and how the images and remarks given to them on social media, especially, are not how they should define themselves. It is SUCH an important lesson for kids to learn, and unfortunately thanks to advent of social media on younger and younger kids, its hard for young girls to learn to separate the lies from the half truths and maliscious intent, from the simple truth- we are not as we are defined by others, but as WE define ourselves through God's eyes.

This book would be great for girls to read over the Christmas break, to be able to rethink and take charge of the new year with a resolution to trust in themselves and in the faith God has in them, versus what their friends and schoolmates want to impose on them. This is a great book, full of encouragement and great advice for teens! We highly recommend it.
