In reviewing this book, I had to use a retrospective point of view to compare it to what I remember as a teenage girl as I journeyed to womanhood.

Moving from my childhood to my adolescence years had been fraught with challenges almost every day. Not only was I changing on the outside, with my body gaining bumps and curves when it used to be as flat as a boy, but I was also changing on the inside in ways I couldn't see but felt. I experienced a barrage of emotional feelings as I became more show more and more judgemental when I compared my body to that of other girls my age and wondered why they looked more developed than me; and why I looked more developed than other girls.

There was a slew of learning how to handle the issues facing me as a developing woman pretending to be entering puberty and menstruation and managing the periods. There was having to deal with friends in a new way and peer pressure, and managing the associated stress and coping issues of both.

I found this book to be a treasure storehouse of information regarding these things and more since it includes using social media, having a part-time job while going to school, and the all-important preparation for college.

For helping her young teenage girl readers navigate through their daunting teenage developmental years into their womanhood, I've given Ms. Higgins 5 STARS for her great educational endeavor here.
