Girlology. It has exploded beyond just a word. Girlology is a brand a culture that preteen and teen girls know and love and turn to for honest true-life advice on everything that matters most--friends, guys, body changes, dating, and sex. In Hang-Ups, Hook-Ups, and Holding Out, girls will follow the true stories of four girls and their choices-- And they'll get answers to the questions teen girls are asking every day on the popular website www.girlology.com and in private sessions with Drs. Holmes and Hutchison, the co-creators of Girlology--questions like: What's up with this acne? Will it ever end? Is it ok to shave my hair down there? If I keep looking at other girls in the locker room, does that mean I'm gay? Am I the only girl who isn't having sex? Is oral sex really sex? If I've only had oral sex, then I'm still a virgin, right? There's a guy at school who says he wants to hook up with me. What does he mean by "hook up?" Life can get complicated for girls today. With Hang-Ups, Hook-Ups, and Holding Out, it just got a lot easier. What a tremendous resource for girls and anyone who cares about them. Doctors Holmes and Hutchison convey solid information about girls'sexuality and other crucial topics in a way that kids will relate to. I hope every girl--and every parent of a girl--reads this.--David Walsh, Ph.D ., author of Why Do They Act That Way? A Survival Guide to the Adolescent Brain for You and Your Teen
