Everything You Need To Know About Guys

When I was recommended this book I thought it was going to exactly like the other books about dating that I've read. Boy was I wrong. This book was more informative, and wasn't written in a way that feels like you're being talked down to. "The Girls Guide To Guys" features chapters ranging from flirting, to physical and mental abuse, and rape. This is a must read book for all teen girls who want to learn more about guys and dating, or for anyone looking for a fun and easy book to read during the summer.

Honest & Straight Forward

I bought this book for my boyfriend's 15-year old sister. I read it first to make sure that it was something that I wanted to give her and that her mother would also be okay with. It definitely was. The author obviously remembers what it was like to be in high school and confused about guys, dating, and sex. At the beginning of the book, the author states that she will not "talk down" to the reader. She definitley lives up to that promise. One of the messages that reappears throughout the book as an underlying theme is "listen to and follow your heart - be true to who you are". At times light and fun, the author also delves into heavier issues such as rape and abuse. The author adds in bits and pieces of her own experience, but emphasizes that what may have been right for her (e.g. waiting until she was 20 and with someone she loved and who loved her back and treated her with respect to have sex but not waiting until she was married) may not be the right choice for everyone. I felt comfortable giving this book to this 15-year old girl, who is binging raised in an open-minded but Christian environment, and who, if she is anything like me and every other girl I knew at her age, could use a few words of wisdom on the topics so adeptly covered by the author.
