his book is about empowering girls by providing them the tools to build great friendships and teaching them how to be a good friend, in order to live a happy life. Each chapter is filled with a thought to contemplate, fun quotes from famous women, poems, and facts. Chapter 5, on Finders, Keepers, has young adults thinking about what makes a true friend and how some friends are never there during the hard times. Catherine Dee feels that, girls sometimes don’t realize that they deserve better, and they settle for whomever comes along acting halfway decent.

This book is filled with wisdom and unlike most non-fiction books, this book does not overwhelm readers with information, rather gives readers many subjects about friends to think about. Most teens may shy away since this book is not filled with colorful text, large illustrations, or pictures, but the content will keep them pondering over friendship wisdom to consider. The quotes are really fun to read, and more life powerful information, for instance singer Christina Aguilera says, “It’s just a matter of really taking time out for friends. Even if it’s a two minutes, just to call and check in and say hey (p. 174).” As teenagers start to date, this advice would be gold for friendships to survive relationships of love.

I really liked this book! It contains some great advice on friendships. I do believe that a girl and a guy can have a friendship with no possibility of getting together the the future.

If you want to get closer to your pals, get advice on how to be a better friend, or just more ways to have fun with your friends you should pick up this book! <3
