I found Private and Personal, by Carol Weston, to be a very lively, engaging book for girls. It offers sensible advice to questions that a lot of girls would not feel comfortable asking anyone else. I would definitely recommend this book to any girls who need a good humored, solid voice of reason in their lives.

The book is set up as questions from readers and answers from Carol. Many of the questions were questions I have. The answers were well-thought-out and helpful. They helped me to understand things I was too embarrassed to ask my Mom, and I definitely recommend this book to any teenager.

This book is full of questions that I had but was too embarrassed to ask anyone. When I got the book for my birthday, I read the whole thing through but now I usually just reread certain parts, like if I'm having trouble with a friend or guy or something. It's as if Carol Weston is a mindreader! I like her magazine column too.

Private and Personal is a fabulous resource for girls as they face the various situations inherent in anyone's pre-teen life. Featuring a wide selection of questions from girls of all ages, expressing every concern imaginable, this book provides all the answers without ever seeming preachy or condescending. Weston's advice is full of humorous one-liners as well as true compassion, making Private and Personal a wonderful book both to read straight through and to keep on hand for wise and sympathetic reference whenever a question comes up.

Carol Weston is every parent's dream -- she's a smart, funny, and very sensible writer who knows just what questions are bothering girls today (including my daughters) and answers those questions in a frank, informative manner. She knows how to talk to her readers, and she knows what ground to cover. I couldn't endorse this book more heartily.

I loved this book! It was really great! It helped me through a lot of things and it acually still does! I still go through it and read it. Every girl out there should have this book!
