## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great read.
  

*by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2014*

This book was published in 1994, but every bit of it is still relevant to today's young women.  I was actually expecting something else, but the book has exceeded my expectations.  While reading it you can't help but mentally take yourself back in time to your own life back when you were in middle school and even high school.  There are so many infuriating moments, and "Aha!" moments you will have with yourself if you are a woman reading this book.  You will tell yourself, "Well, no wonder I turned out this way," or such similar things.  It has helped me understand myself more and how we as young girls grow up in such a different yet similar environment to those around us.  There are also moments while reading when you're disgusted, or the "WTF?" moments.  It makes you want to stand for change in the growth of young girls from all walks of life.  I apologize for possibly being all over the place in my review, but it has evoked so many strong emotions and feelings that it is difficult to express them how I want and all at the same time.  I am just a single, white female, I do not have children of my own yet, but think that every man, woman and child should read or be aware of this book.

    Awesome for Aspiring Educators
  

*by B***1 on Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2021*

Though this book is now decades old, the insight that it gives is still so relevant. Girls are experiencing so many gender related challenges during adolescence and those challenges need to be recognized if teachers want to help all students succeed. I’m an education major and I bought this book for a class, but I feel it is a genuinely fascinating read.  I think everyone aspiring to be an educator should read this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    one affluent and one more poor. It's a great slice of life book
  

*by K***Y on Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2017*

My mom's group read this book and here are my thoughts. I was really looking for advice on how to work with my tween. Or some discussions about what teens go through to help me understand what my own tween was experiencing. Let's face it, 2017 is a lot different than when I was a tween in the 1980s. Maybe some stories that I can relate to that would enable me to transfer that to my own experience with my tween. This is not that book.This book essentially shadows a couple of teens in two schools; one affluent and one more poor. It's a great slice of life book. But holds no advice or guidance in dealing with your teens. It's basically a biography of a couple of teenagers. Some of it sad some of it happy. But it does not offer any sort of guidance in traversing anything that you will be dealing with regarding your own child.
