Product Description
Synopsis
If you're too shy to flirt, there are lots of ways to get on to his speed dial. But remember, while one message might be cute, twenty is harassment. You can't make someone like you, but you can make him very afraid of you! Kim Cattrall is best known for her role as Samantha Jones, the clued up, sexy star of the television show "Sex in the City". As such, teens of all ages are always asking her advice, about dating, about dressing, make-up and hair, manicures, what's hot, what's not - all kinds of questions from all kinds of girls. Part teen confidential, part teen survival guide, her book tackles every aspect of teen angst in an honest, intimate and totally cool way that will appeal to young women of any age. If teenagers idolise Samantha Jones because she has all the answers, they'll love Kim Cattrall because she still remembers what it was like to ask the questions.

Young girls will enjoy!, 10 Oct 2006
By Armchair Interviews - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Being a Girl: Navigating the Ups and Downs of Teen Life (Hardcover)
Kim Cattrall, who left home at sixteen to go to acting school in New York City, won a Golden Globe for her role as Samantha in the Sex and the City television show.
Cattrals writes in a chatty style for late tween and teenage girls about sex, bodily changes, boys, parents, school, self-esteem and a whole lot more in this frank, down-to-earth book. The book is easy to navigate, well laid out with pictures of herself as a child and adult as well as gloriously done illustrations.
Quotes and nuggets of wisdom from Cattrall, such as, "I kind of wish dating could be renamed "getting to know you." That would take a lot of the pressure off." help make this book a handy roadmap for navigating adolescence and puberty. Girls can identify with the author because she writes in a conversational style that draws you in and speaks openly about her own challenges and feelings during her teen years from her fifty-year-old perspective.
Most women will appreciate the autobiographical information and remember their own teen years with joy and some sadness. The writing is easy-to-understand, thoughtful, intelligent and sometimes quirkily funny.
Glossy, thick pages and a wide 8" x 8" layout make this a simply gorgeous book.
Coupled with Cattrall's writing style and Martha Richler's illustrations, this is a book that every young girl would enjoy having in her bookcase for years of candid support and advice from a driven, successful woman.
Armchair Interviews says: A must-have for girls twelve and up. It augments a mother's or other female role model's advice for girls and even young women.

A Great Tool, 9 Jan 2007
By Becky Buckler - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Being a Girl: Navigating the Ups and Downs of Teen Life (Hardcover)
I was so pleased to find this book! I mentor a young teen girl and read this book aloud to her during our weekly sessions over a period of several weeks. She loved it and it was a great way to start some good conversations on some subjects that sometimes confuse or intimidate girls entering womanhood. Several other mentors are being encouraged to use it with their girls. A great find.

A great tool for teenage girls!, 5 April 2010
By lovehitzalot - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Being a Girl: Navigating the Ups and Downs of Teen Life (Hardcover)
This is a great tool for girls trying to make their way through their teens and even their early 20's. Kim covers a wide variety of topics such as: self esteem; dealing with fears; relationships with friends, family, mean girls/bad crowds, and boyfriends; body development; eating right (also covers eating disorders); budgeting/living on your own; seeing and appreciating different types of beauty; dating; some carefully chosen/addressed topics on sex; style; skin care; and make-up. Kim's advice always comes off as clear, truly helpful (it's very positive advice and I'd recommend it to teenage girls), and specific. It's very evident that she really cares about helping her readers to improve the journey through those tough years. She's honest, sweet, and funny as well. The book is easy to read and contains pictures of her from childhood on up, as well as cute little cartoon sketches that go along with the subjects. It's really terrific!
