I read this book when I was twelve and going through tough times. I read it again a year later and was amazed at how it still spoke to me. It's good to know that there are other girls going through the same things. I still cry every time I read the chapter on self-inflicted wounds,but it also helps me get through that part of my life. Every adult who wonders what goes on in their daughter's life should read thi book. And every girl who wants to know she's not alone should,too. Thank you to the girls who contributed and to Sara for listening to their stories,to our stories.

I read this book as a junior in high school and now, 5 years later, I picked it up again for another read and realize how truly amazing a work this is. Compiling works from a variety of young females gives perspective like no other. I reccommend this book to any female, young or old. It is a great read and truly a shoulder to lean on.

I'm seventeen and I received this book as a gift for my thirteenth birthday and I've probably read the book twenty times in those four years. I think that everything written in it is true and it has influenced me greatly. Sara is a role model to us all and I am very greatful that she had the courage, drive and ambition to write such an honest book. To every girl who submitted a story, I commend you and I feel fortunate to be in a generation of such excellent women. Though the expression may be redundant, i feel it is applicable..."Girl Power!"

I will make this short and sweet. This book is worth reading, whether you are a teenage girl or not. I'm not necessarily suggesting that grown men will snuggle up with this strong feministic read, but if they could handle it I'm sure they would! Sarah Shandler's idea for this book flourished into a Chicken Soup For The Courageous and Honest Soul.

Ophelia Speaks is truely one of the best books I've ever read. I used to think I was the only one who felt these thingsand I didnt know how to handle them, after reading this book I realized that other girls are confused and hurting too. Please let there be a second book to come out and further bond females.

This book was excellent and I realized that I am not alone in facing the problems of teenage life today. Sara Shandler did an awesome job picking stories for this book and I hope she publishes another one.

This is the story of my life. And my friends' lives. When I read the stories in this book, I was truly touched. There were people, strangers, rather, from millions of miles away whose lives mirrored my own and advice rang true for me. As a teen, I know that girls can feel alone and think that they are the only people going through what they are going through. And yes, while I may know that some people are experiencing the same general stuff as I, such as dating and eating problems, I never knew that it was the same right down to the T. To have that reassurance is incredible and creates a unity of teens around the world. I thank Sara for putting that book together.
