"A wonderful guide to all things feminine… it's about me and every other girl/woman in the world who has doubts, insecurities and feels disconnected… factual and insightful…a must have for every teenage girl/woman… the section on self-esteem and feeling better about yourself helped me …a great book for young women … reading this book, my outlook on life will change for the better. I learned so many valuable life lessons. I will certainly be recommending this book to many of my friends… finished it last night feeling completely in love with myself and my body … It shocked me how much of the book I could relate to … I liked how there was a mix of the females and then the perspective from the author …Very nicely written accessible and smart, the language is understandable and draws you in… really useful, especially the things on money and jobs … I'd never normally read self help books but this was actually very interesting and had some useful information about being happy with yourself …Thorough, caring, non-patronizing …a real eye-opener …Loved the emotional aspects in the book…I like the writing style … nice to see someone of the older generation writing for and to younger generations. A must-read for girls becoming women…This book is really amazing."

"I had the pleasure of reading Roy's book close after it came out. I was so taken and utterly impressed by it that I ordered two more as graduation gifts for two of my best friends. The book gives you a lot to think about but also leaves you with that 'feel good' positive feeling, knowing that you now possess some inside secret tools to help you on the road towards building a healthy self-esteem and happiness." Madalina Marincas
