For Girls Only Review!

I just finished reading this awesome book a few days ago, and immmediately sent the author a thank you email for what a great job she did! Not only did she do a great job of incorportating quotes from men and women, old and young, past and present, and all religions, but I came away feeling inspired and ready to take on the world! A perfect book for any girl!

Better than therapy!!!

Whenever I need inspiration or encouragement or a peptalk or just some sensible advice, I open this book to any page, read for a few minutes, and feel lighter and better. GREAT FOR ANY AGE!!! GET A COPY! You'll be glad you did!!!

TOTALLY INSPIRING!!!

I love how this book is full of excellent advice that I can read whenever I'm feeling confused or depressed. I am a big fan of Carol Weston's "Dear Carol" column in Girls' Life magazine (and also of her novels) so it's really cool to have her best advice in one book. She also quotes a ton of my favorite musicians, actors, and other writers. Basically, thanks to FOR GIRLS ONLY, even if I've already talked to my mom and best friend about a problem, I still have another place to go for good advice or just to get me motivated to get my work done or try to meet new people or whatever. FOR GIRLS ONLY is FOR YOU!!!

Moms and Dads must use this book

This beautifully written book is never too far from my daughter's bedside. Except when I have it! It's chalk full of practical advice and ispirational ideas. If you read it through, I guarantee you'll feel uplifted and empowered to tackle the world. My 10 year old turns to this book to browse when she's in between novels or when she needs specific advice. When friends are over, they pore over the "love" and "friendship" chapters, and it has saved her on homework assignments requiring quotes! She especially loves the blank pages at the end of the book where she is moved to record her own pearls of wisdom. I love that she'll look back at them someday. What a treasure! ATTENTION MOMS AND DADS! If you need help for that crucial, life changing pep talk - USE THIS BOOK! It's an invaluable tool for finding the right words for boosting a low self esteem moment, getting over a homework hump, managing an allowance crisis, or enriching a positive experience.

A Book For The Whole Family

My ten year old loved this book but so did my fifteen year old and SO DO I! In fact the only problem we have with this book is that it's hard to keep track of who has it. We have to buy another!
