Rate this book
As a senior in high school, Breana Anderson has her hands full. Not only does she have her school work for high school and a part-time job, but she also takes on extracurricular activities while attending early college. Breana finds herself in an awkward situation when she is sexually assaulted by her professor. She knows that this will have a huge impact on her life, but is astounded when many other students come forward and make the same claim. Her boyfriend, Brian, is very controlling, and Breana isn't sure how to deal with him. Fortunately, she has a wonderful support group to help and guide her through her challenges – her parents, her best friend Chloe, little sister Summer, and big brother Luke. Her love life is a mess but she knows what she has to do.

My daughter and I LOVED Unapologetic for my Flaws and ALL! We first encountered it in the Little Libraries near our home. We tried to write a review, however, it was taken down. Therefore, I purchased the book to give the author a 5-star review!! Which is well deserved! I might add, she has 5-star reviews on other sites as well (Goodreads and Barnes and Noble).

Firstly, my daughter and I was waiting for a "magic moment" and once again. Charlena E. Jackson saved the day! My daughter was having issues with her little boyfriend (high schoolers)--after she read about Breanna's story in the book my daughter related to the character because she was going through what Brennan was going through. One thing for sure, Charlena E. Jackson knows how to write about REAL ISSUES that are going on in the REALITY of life!
Breanna is something serious and she doesn't play! She knows what she wants, she's a hard worker, and she put fire on people butts. What I loved about the character is that she doesn't accept NO an answer! She fights for her voice to be heard! I loved how her family was family orientated. I cannot give away the story, but her and T'eo were so cute an adorable. I fell in love with them both! Her father is something serious too. When I read about her and mother relationship, my daughter opened up to me and told me that's how she felt about our relationship (WHich I didn't have a clue. Charlena E. Jackson books restores, renew, revive, and put families back together!)

I laughed in this book so hard because SUmmer is a mess! I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED me some Summer! I was emotional as well. I had my cheering moments too! Charlena E. Jackson made this book come alive, just like all of her books that I bought! She and her work/books are truth seekers!! I love her as an author!

I am not going to give the storyline away... But I do want to say the MESSAGE in this book is VERY POWERFUL!! All girls need to read Unapologetic for my Flaws and All. We need more young females to know their worth, to fight for what they want and to know they matter and they have a voice.
All females (young maybe 8th grade and up to college) need to read this book!
Once again, Charlena E. Jackson, Job well done!

WOW I LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! I laughed sooo many times, cried, was happy then sad. Like this book really took me on an emotional roller coaster and I absolutely LOVED it! I have finally finished reading all of Charlenas books and now I can get to leave a review on them all! I saw this book and three others in the little library and it was an honor to read such a book I just had to leave a review in return. I'm a teen myself and this honestly is just what I needed at this time in my life right now lol. I love this book and I have to say it is my fav book right now. Everyone who comes across it has to read it literally!!

The women's nature is completely different from Male's because women's were happy from what they had been sacrifice and for whom they sacrifice. I really Impressed from your way of expression about this thing that most of the people were ignored in their daily life.

5-star all around!

The message in Unapologetic for my Flaws and All is AMAZING! I was all into this book! I couldn't put it down! I love me some Bre (she is the main character). I love her drive and will! She gave me the strength to walk away from a bad situation. She gave me hope to know that my opinion matters. I love her BFF Chloe too! She loves the skin she's in flaws and all! Bre's sister Summer is a hot funny mess (I hope the author write a book about summer, I would love to see how summer conquers middle school, she is a fierce little girl!) After reading Unapologetic for my Flaws and All, I tried out mediation for the first time and wow it helped me out a lot! I made it a daily routine! I love Bre's family, and I love her relationship with T'eo as well. I love me some BREANA THE BRAVE because she took a stand for what she believed in and she didn't take no for an answer. Bre wasn't afraid to speak up-- and it shows that it only takes ONE person to take a stand and others will follow!

Wonderful empowering message for all girls!

I am in high school and I most definitely can relate to Bre's story!

My girls and I are going to read Unapologetic for my Flaws and All together! This will be the first, time forming a reading club! I really loved this book!

If it is turned into a movie I will most definitely be there!! And my girls will be there too!

Love the cover! The cover speaks a LOT of volumes! The young girls on the cover body language are saying I am Unapologetic for my Flaws and All--and if you don't like it-- then so what! As the girls are convinced on the cover they are confident in the book as well. Sure, they have their ups and down, but they overcome them.

I love this book! The author did a fantastic job! My teenage daughter couldn't put the book down!

Unapologetic for My Flaws and All is a fantastic read! I noticed the author Charlena E. Jackson write all kinds of genre and she does a great job!

Unapologetic for My Flaws and All is a book for teenage and college girls, I loved it! As a school teacher, I found myself laughing because I've felt like I was living my senior life over again, well back in my day we didn't have early college, just college prep classes in high school. Most definitely I had a boyfriend (problems), friends (issues) and a lot of responsibilities.

I love Breana! She is a sharp-minded young lady! She knows what she wants and what she isn't going to put up with. She has her weak spots with her boyfriend Brian. I think all girls encounter the "hard to let go of a certain boyfriend stage"

Her little sister Summer is a funny little bundle of joy! I really hope Charlena E. Jackson writes a book about Summer! I would love to read about how her life turned out.

I do not want to give away the storyline, but I will say, it is a MUST READ!

Breana The Brave is a Shero!

Charlena E. Jackson, empowered and inspire young and older women! Keep up the excellent work!

I am and forever will be a fan of Charlena E. Jackson!

You darn right, I am Unapologetic for my flaws and all. The title gained my attention. The cover gained my attention as well because I love the facial expressions on Bre’s and Chloe’s face. They are saying, “yeah, I said it. I am Unapologetic for my flaws and all… …and.” Girls need to make this book title their phrase, their signature and live by it. This book is the real deal! I laughed, cried, was in deep thought and I became a shero of my own world.
Bre went through a lot, just like all of us girls we are hard on ourselves, and people think it is okay for us to settle for less, but Bre is an example to all of us girls. We shouldn’t ever settle for less and we should always fight for what we believe in no matter what. I am standing with Breana the brave!”

My daughter and I read this book together. I think this book was a phenomenal book! The message in this book is very inspiring and powerful for young girls. The title alone made my wife order the book Unapologetic for My Flaws and All is a POWERFUL statement. When I read the title, I knew I wanted to read it with my daughter. My wife joined us as well as we made it a family reading. Very powerful title, book cover, and message.

I am wondering why are people sleeping on this book and most definitely the Author Charlena E. Jackson. I read all of her books. From Teacher’s Just Don’t Understand Bullying Hurts. I’m Speaking Up but You’re Not Listening, A Woman’s Love is Never Good Enough, and Unapologetic for My Flaws and All. I am not a religious person (not by far) but I read her book No Cross-No Crown Trust God Through the Battle as well. All of her books have a great defined meaning. I was lucky to come by all of her books because they were in the Little Libraries around the city of Atlanta. All of them were signed copies with a message in each one. I can’t afford to buy a book at the moment, but I was/am lucky I read them all. I wrote down some notes from each of her books and keep them with me. Her books are Powerful. They will make you Unstoppable. I started Believing in abilities. I found the Courage to put my best foot forward oppose to making our excuses. The author wrote a message and signed each book. However, I noticed she doesn’t have a lot of reviews on Amazon or enough on Barnes and Nobles or Goodreads. I think people are so selfish nowadays. I noticed when I walk by the Little Libraries her books have been read and/or her books are not in the Little Libraries. With that being said, the least everyone can do is write a review, Apparently, everyone is loving her books. The books were/are free. Gosh, people always want something for nothing. I wanted to make time to write a review because the author didn’t have to give her books away for free. Nor did she have to write a message and sign her books. The least we can do is show support. If I was the author I wouldn’t give away any more books, but I am glad I came across each book she’s written.

Dark times, hard times seem to be my best friend until I read this book! It changed my life.
Wow, this book made me realize it is my time to shine. It is my time to fly. Just yesterday, I wanted to give up. I was going to give up and throw in the towel. After reading Unapologetic for my Flaws and All I changed my mind. The Author made me realize we all have good and bad times. I am reaching up, up, up and up, until I touch the sky because the sky is not the limit! It is my time to shine. I have so much life and light in me. I had such a bad year this year at school. I didn’t want to step foot in the building ever, but I am going to conquer 11 grade and you know what I just might take a chance and for Miss. 11th grade and the following year Miss 12th grade. I felt like a bird locked up in a cage, but I am not letting anyone clip my wings anymore. I am rolling with Brenan the brave because I am for damn sure Unapolgiect for my flaws and all because nobody can hold me down! I am brave! I am strong! I believe in myself! Words from others are irrelevant because I LOVE me!

I love the title Unapologetic for my Flaws and All it stood out to me because I think all women and girls should be Unapologetic for our flaws and all. After reading the book, I felt empowered by Breanna’s determination and drive! I am a grown woman and this is a youth-teen book and I love this book so much! I wish I had books like this to read when I was in high school. I am an after-school youth instructor and I was approved by my supervisor and parents to read the book to the youth I teach. I am towards the end of the book and they LOVE it! Some of them know what’s going to happened because they loved the book so much they bought the book. They said they couldn’t wait for me to complete the book. Ha! I told them NOT to tell the ending and ruin it for the others who didn’t buy the book. We LOVE Unapologetic for my flaws and all! It makes a statement! A huge statement!!

I love this book! I didn't expect this book to be so good! I am so glad I found this book in the little library. The title caught my attention and I was curious about the story.
Bree is a warrior! She is a hard worker and she is a beast. My daughter and I read this book together (we had our little book club) and I was like, thank God for Unapologetic for my flaws and all 2nd ed because my daughter was going to the same issues with her boyfriend. I am so happy to know she now knows her worth and that it is okay to be by yourself or wait until someone better comes along.

I loved this book because it shows girls they should know their worth, keep smiling and keep going because life is good!

Great book and a must-read!

THIS BOOK IS AMAZING! I am all up for women justice and equality. I read this book to my daughter and she is 13 and thinks she is to old to be read to lol. But with this book she didn't want me to stop and honesty I didn't either. I'm glad she got encouraged by this book and it needs to be more like it.

My family and I read all of Charlena E. Jackson books! They are family originate and every last one of them has valuable truth and meaning! Unapologetic for my Flaws and All! My daughter, my nieces and their friends couldn't put this book down! I am going, to be honest, I couldn't put it down either! LOL! This book is a page turner!!! My co-workers laughed at me and said I was reading a "teenage/youth" book. I left it at work by mistake and the next thing I knew one of my co-workers was walking around with my book! I told them they have to get their own copy of "the teenage/youth" book.

Summer is something else! Little summer made my day with her smart truth! I found myself laughing out loud reading Summer "smart, truthful, and bold mouth.

Chloe, I loved me some Chloe. She had me snapping my fingers because we have to be comfortable in our skin.

Bre, is a shero! She is bold, unique and most definitely unapologetic for her flaws and all! I failed in love so much love with Bre. My girls failed in love with Bre as well! Bre empowered my girls and made them realize we need to stand up with we know something is not right.

The title alone is BOLD! I love how Bre and Chloe on the cover are serious about loving the skin they are in! I wish I had this book during my teenage years. I applauded Charlene E. Jackson for taking a stand and making a bold move to write a book that we all need to read.

I am Unapologetic for my flaws and all!

My daughter and I read this book together. I must say, wow we both failed in love with the story/the message and the plot. As I was walking home--I noticed in our Little Library there was a 2nd Edition to this book! I was so excited! I loved the first book cover, but I loved the 2ns edition book cover even better.

After reading the 2nd edition, I noticed, the author cared so much about her readers that she made the corrections that were visual in the first edition. The 2nd edition reads at a steady flow of peace. Although there were some errors in the first edition the read was amazing and relatable!! Every teenager needs to read this book!

I cannot wait until the 2nd edition is release because I am going to buy it!

Charlena Jackson-- If you are the one putting the books in the Little Library you are amazing! I see it is more than a check to you--because I always see your book (all of them in the Little Library around the city.)

Thank you!

Why do I have to apologize for every time someone thinks I have done something wrong? I find myself always apologizing for how I look, what I say, and how I say things. Why? However, I never receive an apology from those who messed me over.
Breana is truly a role model. Here I am going through most of the things I read in this book. I have boyfriend problems and he is such a pain in my butt. The question is why do I not break up with him, it is because I do not want anyone else to have him. I've put in a LOT of work! Yet, he treats me like crap. Guess what after reading UNAPOLOGETIC FOR MY FLAWS AND ALL I broke up with his sorry butt. Now he is calling me asking me to get back with him. No! I know my worth and I am not going to settle for less.
School is kicking butt, I too am in early college, I kidd you now I was going to quit the program until I read how Bree-Bree's journey. I told myself, It will be worth it. I just have to work harder and put more fire on my tail.
I fail in love with Unapologetic for my flaws and all because this is what a lot of girls go through. We are always under so much pressure. This book was walking me through my own life story. I never heard of this author, but she is a great storyteller.

After reading Unapologetic for my Flaws and All I felt so good about myself. I felt like a young girl (middle school) I can conquer the world. I love the character, Breanna. She is bold (something that I wasn’t before reading the book). Breanna is so fearless and such a courageous girl. I love how the author made Breana come alive. In reality, this is a non-fiction book (although it is a fiction book it talks about what girls go through all the time.) I was happy with myself. I really didn’t love myself. But after reading Unapologetic of my flaws and all. I felt empowered to love myself more and to dare to be different. It shifts my attitude and how I think. I didn’t know what meditation was, but I researched it and since Breana mediated a lot I begin to meditate as well. It really helped me. I love the title and I love the story. It brought my soul back to life.
