Carol Weston's savvy, witty, no-nonsense guide answers all the questions girls ask, the ones they're afraid to ask, and even the ones they don't yet know they have. But before moms pass on this book to their daughters, they should read it themselves. Armed with vital information and reassuring wisdom, it will be that much less stressful to navigate the teen world today. I only wish I knew about Girltalk when my own daughter was a teen.
Great author, timeless book

I bet I am the oldest reviewer to post, at just three months shy of 26 -- I have a copy of GirlTalk that is at least 12 or 15 years old. I believe it is a first edition. My mom bought it for me when I was a pre-teen and it was my bible, my source of comfort, the one thing that helped me believe I wasn't completely alone when I was an angst-ridden teen. Parents and teens alike will benefit from owning a copy of GirlTalk.
this is a great book!

This is a great book. Carol Weston uses her own experiences and helpful phrases to help you understand everything. This book includes tips on hygene, romance, puberty, school, friends, family, and just about everything! If you are interested in any of those items I strongly suggest that you get this book. I read this book 3 times and strongly suggested it to all my friends. It has helpful ideas, like I said, and other girls' opinions and questions on the material in the book. Get this book, I loved it, and so will you!
This book is a bible for teenage girls!!

I first received GIRLTALK when I was 13. Throughout my teen years, I would periodically consult it whenever I had a question or concern that I was unable to talk to my mom about. Unlike other books written for teenagers, this one is not preachy or condescending. I strongly recommend it for all young women who are coming of age.
