It is a good book. I liked the way that the author expressed her thoughts. Some topics were interesting and some were TOTALLY boring and bullshit. The book would've been even more interesting if she hadn't used her regional language!

It has never been easy to understand women and their mindset. No amount of research works on D-day. It has been a mystery which has been tried to solved upon many a times without any success.

The author in her second book has tried to correct few notions and myths regarding women and their behavior.

It's not a fiction book. It is for real with scenarios and facts and case studies to explain the whole idea behind the book.

Very well written and edited.

The idea to entice a woman to explore herself through this book will work for sure. It's an eye opener for women too.

Kudos!!

The first non-fiction book i ever read! It is more like a guide to a girl's world. As a child i loved the stuff, that the author wrote in a very frank and simple language and i was very fascinated to know the secrets about a girl's life. Lastly, this is the perfect book to be read by all generations of female.

This book is definitely not to be judged by its cover; don't let the pink designing with all things girly (which I like btw) fool you. This is an excellent guide to women who want to understand their own sex, & to men who have no clue about women. I especially find it great that Sneha Mehta has written this guide with the Indian woman in mind. From my experience there have been several books about the feminine-psyche, but which cater only to Western readers. Mehta covers girls & women in her book by narrating the biological changes (for the former), & then moving on to social maturation for the latter. The book does not demean or demonise the opposite sex; infact, it opens up one's mind to consider why all genders face the problems they are currently in. The one bone I'd have to pick here though is that about editing; there are several spelling & grammatical errors in an otherwise-worthy read. A writer like Mehta deserves an experienced editor.
Final comment- A must-read for all sexes & ages; A-

This book has come out of a distinct thought process. If you are flexible enough to adapting to a different frequency,you'll resonate with it. It attacks myths and clears the clumsy cloud of ifs and buts.It urge you to think.

You will find this book challenging but always fascinating.The author has tried to breakdown hard scientific evidences to simple explanations to help you understand reality.And supplemented with actual facts and authentic events.

The book welcomes you to the universe of girlhood. A world that answers every question,small and stupid,with love and patience.A world that pull you out of your gender fatigue.We deserve a better life, a better world and most importantly, more love for ourselves.

The book is a must read if you want to know about woman and explore more facts and information. Very well written and presented. This is an excellent guide to women.I would give this book 4 out of 5 stars.

I really liked this book, it’s the kind of read I’d love to carry with me while travelling. It’s fun, honest and filled with real-life insights that every girl can relate to. It talks about how celebrities live, the pressure of image, and the choices women have to make in today’s world, from what to avoid, what to stand up for and how to stay true to yourself.

It’s definitely an adult book as it touches on topics like sex, make-outs and relationships in a very straightforward way. So it’s not for younger readers but for young women trying to figure things out, it’s a good, empowering read.

I genuinely enjoyed it and I’d love for my friends to read it too. It’s bold, real and sometimes exactly what you need to hear.

I received this book last month and was excited to review a non fiction for the first time. And I was not disappointed. Sneha Mehta's honest opinions and open minded solutions to problems every girl faces are commendable. Wish her all the best in future!

It was an OK read. I breezed through parts I was too familiar with. It was good to read about certain parts where mine and the author's point of view was on similar lines. It is a must read for naive and the know-it all girls who would be shocked to realise the reality is not all what they perceive it to be and probably real life might be a better place to be in with a bit of awareness.

This is a brilliant book. It's funny, it's mythbusting, it's hard hitting, it's harsh but at the same time it gently puts across all the things a girl needs to know in this age and time. Its a must read for every girl who has grown up in India and being through all the stuff a normal Indian girl has to put up with.

I realised that I am not an average girl after reading the first few chapters, and hence I quit reading it till the end. Thanks for making me feel good.
