Girltalk about Guys: Real Questions, Real Answers

Carol Weston. Harper Perennial, $15.95 (220pp) ISBN 978-0-06-055108-7

Weston addresses the topic most teens wrote to her about in response to her earlier Girltalkboys. In question-and-answer, diary and quiz format, the text is detailed, the answers chatty. Both are satisfying in their fullness and genuine sound. Weston tells personal stories; she both understands and communicates well about the complex nature of today's romancesand what teens can expect from relationships. Along with a list of helpful organizations and hotlines, Weston offers varied, practical hints on many male/female topicsfrom a list of 10 ways to meet boys at school to averting rape. Ages 12-up.
