I read this book's first edition as a 29 year old adult, and even I gathered some great advice from it, on handling friendships to all sorts of general life issues, as well as female-specific topics. I have a daughter, and I believe this book will be an indispensible guide for her to reference when she doesn't feel comfortable speaking to someone about questions she may have. The author's advice is solid and not condescending. She writes in a very personable and trusting manner, and the book is enjoyable to read. Buy it!
