Customer Reviews

A great new addition to the Girlfriends family

True to the form of the other books in the best-selling Girlfriends book series, Teen Girlfriends zeroes in on friendship as today's teen girls experience it. Friendships in adolescence have their ups and downs, and this book reassures girls that what they're going through with their friends is normal. The girls interviewed are candid to the point that every girl who so much as skims the pages will relate to some, if not most of, the material. Girls' connections with their friends are especially critical now, during this time of national challenges, and this grounded-in-reality book is the perfect comfort and companion. Every one of America's daughters, granddaughters, and nieces deserves a copy!-- Catherine Dee, author of The Girls' Book of Friendship

A star in Teen Girlfriends

I thought the Teen Girlfriends Book was great. Theres nothing out there like it. After reading it, a sense of relief came over me knowing that someone out there knows how i feel or had gone through the same thing i had. It was nice to know i wasnt the only one. This book was great because Real teens shared their stories and it helped me understand things more and even helped me change my ways alittle. I learned how to be a better friend and how to cope with things. Every teen girl should own a copy of this book!

Real girls, real life

this is a book comprised of stories from real girls about the moments theyve shared with their friends. the sad times, the happy times, the dangerous times, the stay-home-and-watch-a-movie times. for girls reading this book, each story becomes a reminder to them of special moments theyve shared with their friends. it was written to show girls the glory of these kinds of close relationships they can only have with other girls. i found the book to be both comforting and humourous, giving it a wide appeal. its definitely a good book to give as a gift to your best friend :)

Awesome for teenage chicas

This book was excellently compiled by Julia De Villers. "Teen Girlfriends" is made up of real experiences and thoughts of real girls. It's a great read - you can relate to a lot of the stories, etc. I definitely think you should try reading this book. I'm actually in it!! (My name's Arielle, on pg. 9 & pg. 65-66)Check it out!!

The Most In Depth Book about Teens & Their Friendships

Teen Girlfriends is one of the most heartfelt and heart warming books I've ever had the pleasure of reading. It is an in depth illustration of the lives of many adolescent girls and their interactions with their peers. Having a friendship is extremely important to all of us and this book describes many different ways through which you can meet friends and build strong, long-lasting friendships. It is one thing for an author to observe many girls and then just write her thoughts on them, but it is very different for an author to write word for word what the girls had said and their thoughts. It makes the reader feel a lot closer to the characters and their feelings. I hope that teenagers and adults as well all over the country will have a chance to read such a fantastic book.
