I loved it! Such a unique look into someone's, but especially a young struggling girls (or women's like how she felt it) mind. things and time are so different, yet the emotions and experience are so the same. Things almost every girl growing up feel, but never says or even sometimes dares to think of, she wrote down and expressed so purely and real (not knowing others would read it). It gives room to think all the while reading on the state of self, families, groups, Country's and cultures, without being imposing or philosophical. I would recommend it to anyone, but especially to other girls/women who feel trapped or stuk what ever situation or place.

I have read this book a few times, but not since I was a teenager and I forgot how raw and emotional and graphic and detailed this is. As I was reading this book I started to feel like I was 14 all over again, like we understood each other. And then there would be another mention of the outside world and I would remember the reality of her situation. 
I finished this at work so I had a hard time holding back my tears as I read the afterword. I try not to think about all the work Anne could have done with the years of her life that were stolen. Instead, it seems imperative to thank Anne's father Otto for having followed his daughters wishes and allowed the publication of her work.
"I don't want to have lived in vain like most people. I want to be useful or bring enjoyment to all people, even those I've never met. I want to go on living even after my death!"

The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank is quite a powerful and insightful read. While she does talk about what it was like to hide from the Nazis, she also opened up about normal things that every teenager goes through in their lifetime.
