She read the book (she would read anything.). Purchased for my 13year old God-daughter. I was happy with the lay out of the book but somehow I don't think it was really directed to young teens. but I don't think her questions as a young girl were addressed. I don't know, maybe it's the style of writing, but this is not for everyone.Be sure to "look inside" and know whether or not it's suited for the person it is intended for.
When it is good (and beautifully written) advice is something you can never get enough of, and For Girls Only is proof. Weston combines her own always-accurate, thoughtful, and humorous words of wisdom with those of famous writers, philosophers, entertainers, politicians, and more. The result is a book which page by page offers truly inspiring quotes and passages to comfort any girl, at any stage of life.
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.
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.
She also quotes a ton of my favorite musicians, actors, and other writers. 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. 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.
