This book is a large horoscope book, broken down by dates. I would not read it cover to cover, but maybe save it for a sleepover party to laugh about how WRONG some of the items are, comparing friends to their birthdates. I can't believe people would take this seriously, but I guess when I was a middle schooler, I was pretty religious about reading my horoscope.

"Your mind is like a motor that's always running, and your mouth is connected to the same switch." Yep, that about sums me up.

I have not met a teen (girl or boy) who hasn't loved this.

I liked it but my birthday info (What I am, what I like) is not very similar to the real info about me. I do not balance things.
