This was an interesting read, vignettes of many different girls compared from 25 years prior. As a therapist and a former adolescent girl, there were definitely pieces that resonated with me and felt validating. My partner heard part of the book when I started reading and wanted to listen to the whole thing with me, and it inspired some good conversation. I think there's useful information here, although I would feel no more well prepared to be a parent to a teen girl than I was before. I would love to see a companion piece to this book for girls, around how to get the support they want and need.
