There is nothing like a girls' teenage guide that explains to girls that they should love their bodies, enjoy flirting and stand up for their rights! This is The Lipstick Papers book review, and tonight we have The Rough Guide to Girl Stuff by Kaz Cooke!
The book is part of the Rough Guides, a series which features some good titles and some not so good. This is because each book takes a strong viewpoint, which determines the whole content and tone of the book. If you agree, the book seems fine; if you disagree, it will be useless. For example, the Rough Guide to the search for aliens is, for me, useless - because the standpoint of the book is that there are no aliens and the search is futile.
Anyway, there are many great things about our book tonight, i.e. Girl Stuff. Sound advise on eating, sexual health and friendships, tolerance, explanations of where to go to if you have problems. It tells girls that feminism is great!
The one thing I don't like about this book is the illustrations. Yikes!!! They are really ugly. But if you are a teen, or want to give a guide book to a teen, this down to earth, practical and no nonsense book is for you!
Have a good night and be well heart emoticon
