I read Ophelia Speaks for the first time as a 15 year old high school sophmore. In the four years since that first reading, I have not only re-read the book, but also bought copies for friends, aquaintances and family members. Every single experience I have had to deal with in the past four years has been shared by at least one of the extremely talented essayists catalogued in Ophelia Speaks. This book should be a must read for all adolescent girls. Through it's pages, we hear not just Ophelia, but an entire generation of young women, speak.

This book is a great book if you are having problems in life. I started reading the book and found other girls who are having the same problems as me.

Many times we look at our life and convince ourselves that we are alone... Shandler proves us wrong. No one has been in our exact situation, but there is someone out there that's gotten close. Ophelia Speaks demonstrates that wonderfully. Each and ever story hit's home in some way, shape or form. I LOVED IT!!!
