5 stars - Great prep work for a nervous dad

As a father of a very intelligent, curious, beautiful 12 year old daughter, I was a bit nervous about the changes she would shortly be going thru. And as Dad, I've got to have all the answers right? This book was an easy read, well written and hit on relevant topics that are extremely important for parents to recognize and understand. I no longer feel nervous about broaching these topics with my daughter and look forward to the discussions that surely will come from our both having read this book.

5 stars - Five Stars
