A Guide for Every Scenario - and Fun Ideas, Too

I knew from the second I saw this book that I'd love it. I really dig my teeth into these resource-style books. Why?
1. It is like a textbook, filled with useful information, but fun and very practical.
2. It has easy to read tips and tools for a wide variety of life skills.
3. It's fun to read.

The Girls' Guide to Conquering Life is packed with useful tips--there really is something for every scenario in this book, and lots of simply few fun ideas, too! Full of callouts, illustrations, easy-to-read bullet points and numbered lists, this book is a great tool for girls.

The guide is broken down into 10 categories:
1. Guys & Dating (my fav: How to Plan a Date)
2. Social Skills & Manners (my fav: How to Wrap a Gift)
3. Work & Ethics (my fav: How to ask for a Raise)
4. Wealth & Money Management (my fav: How to Live Debt-Free)
5. Health & Beauty (my fav: How to Properly Wash Your Hair)
6. Clothes & Fashion (my fav: How to Care for Leather Shoes or Boots)
7. Sports & Recreation (my fav: How to Pitch a Softball)
8. Cars & Driving (my fav: How to Behave after an Auto Accident)
9. Food & Cooking (my fav: How to Grill Steak)
10. Tools & Fix-It (my fav: How to Cut with a Circular Saw)

This book was definitely done right. The branding is fun and the text is easy to understand. Each topic starts with a "you will need" and "time required." Sometimes, you'll get a short description, and other times, it dives right into the step-by-step instructions. Each topic closes off with a call-out box with some more information or a fun fact. It's a thick enough book to cover a generous amount of topics, clocking in at almost 300 pages. 

While I got a lot out of this book, The Girls' Guide to Conquering Life is especially well suited for tweens and up--young women will glean lots of skills and have a guide to things they never thought they needed to ask (or were simply too shy to ask). This book would make a great gift for a recent graduate, especially. I will definitely be checking out other books in this fun series!
