As girls, we all need someone to talk to. Someone who’s been where we are, who can offer friendly advice, who gets us. And when you’re a teen, you really need a go-to girlfriend as you face issues like family dilemmas, peer pressure, changing friendships, body image, and all the other things that you might not feel totally comfortable talking to your parents about. That’s where Danae Dobson comes in. In this follow-up to her best-selling book Let’s Talk!, Danae shares her positive, Christ-centered insights on all the stuff that teens encounter today. Speaking girlfriend-to-girlfriend in her trademark “big sister” style, Danae encourages teens on their walk, reminds them they’re not alone, and inspires them to keep the faith.

I thought the content of the book was very good. However, I bought it for my twelve-year old granddaughter, and I think the book is too old for her. I plan to wait until she is at least 13 before giving her the book, and I may wait longer than that. Some twelve-year-olds may be at that point, but I don't think most would be.

Danae Dobson's latest inspirational book targeted for teenage girls contains 22 devotional-style chapters packed into 208 pages. Covering topics as diverse as parent/teen conflict, friendships with unbelievers, unwholesome speech, postmodernism, teen crushes, modesty issues, eating disorders and inner versus outer beauty, this small book certainly delves into some weighty topics! Perhaps best known as the grown daughter of Focus on the Family's Dr. James and Shirley Dobson, Danae certainly fits her "big sister" shoes well. Her tone is one of someone who remembers well what it was like to be a teenager and is not afraid to share her own failures in an effort to impart wisdom to the teens of today. I am pleased with the wisdom, direction and encouragement she offers adolescent girls. In each chapter, Danae interviews teenagers, youth ministers, teachers and counselors. Following each short inspirational essay, Danae quotes some of these youth and youth leaders' thoughts on each topic, and then includes devotional thoughts and questions designed to stimulate thinking and discussion. Although not quite a devotional book, this book could ideally be used as a mother-daughter study book to read together and discuss. Now, it could be simply given to a teenaged girl to read, but for my own just-turned 14 year old homeschooled daughter, this book contains much that I will want to discuss with her. She has not known anyone with an eating disorder and is not familiar with some of the movies and television shows one chapter refers to. I could hand it over to her to read, but I would really prefer to discuss some of these topics with her and answer any questions she has and clear up any potential confusion.
