This "group diary" and "life handbook for teenage girls" offers advice from experts and from actress Berkley herself on issues key to a girl's emotional life: self-esteem, body image, love, loss, friendship, and family. Berkley makes for a dependable confidante, and the book covers the topics adequately and creatively. Even the scrapbooklike design is alluring (if a bit difficult to read).
