"Talking About Family" is an advice book for teen girls by teen girls. Giving advice to teens easy when you are young and life is uncomplicated. Unfortunately the teens in this book tend to have a one-sided approach to their advice giving. Usually the advice giver qualifies themself before answering, but not always. Fortunately some of the questions are followed by more than one piece of advice. The best part about this book are the quotes, which are thought provoking and appropriate. Another highlight is the journaling, making the book useful in the lives of teens these days.
