THIS IS NOT YOUR MOM'S GUIDE TO LIFE.

SOMETIMES BEING A GIRL SUCKS. A lot. Take it from Ashley Rickards, star of the internationally popular MTV show Awkward., who used to be a little awkward herself. She's been picked on and bullied, binged and purged, financially cut off and lived to tell the tale. But it wasn't easy. Throughout the whole process, she felt alone, scared, confused and sorta hungry. Sound familiar?

Well, RELAX. Ashley is here to share all kinds of stories, advice and corny jokes to help get you through it all, kind of like the cool big sister you never had (or wish your sister was). Plus, professional experts like spiritual coach Deepak Chopra, finance expert Zac Bissonnette and celebrity trainer Lalo Fuentes offer their tricks of the trade and behind- the-scenes secrets so you'll be well-versed in Pretty Much Everything About Everything.

You'll learn stuff like:

How to discover your talents and go after what you really want

How to eat right and work out for your body type

All the skin/hair/makeup/fashion tips you'll ever need to look like a rock star (or other kind of star)

Decorating your room to suit your style and organizing your crap so you're on top of lifeTips for making, saving and spending money

About this title

Review:

This most enjoyable guide comes from Rickards, star of the MTV show Awkward, who gives tips on everything from makeup and nutrition to time management and relationships. Rickards shares her journey toward self-acceptance that begins with attitude adjustment, incorporates beauty advice, and offers suggestions on romance. Chapters include step-by-step instructions for painting furniture as well as decorating à la feng shui. Checklists, diagrams, illustrations, and quizzes round out this clever how-to book. VERDICT Rickards's writing is like that of an older sister/friend, who makes being a grown-up sound fun. Recommended for younger women, although "more mature" readers will get a kick out of it along with some inspirational ideas. -Library Journal
