From Booklist:

Gr. 8-12. Paul's Girlosophy: A Soul Survival Kit (2000) began a series of books^B designed to empower girls with a combination of New Age wisdom, affirmations, and common sense, packaged in CD-size, graphically hip paper formats. This latest book, following the familiar formula, focuses on the physical and "spiritual recovery" that breakups require. Paul's broad definition of relationship encompasses family and friends as well as romantic partners, and she avoids gender pronouns, making the language suitable for boys and girls, gay or straight. Divided into sections such as "Body"^B and "Mind," the straightforward advice about how to overcome depression and "get a new vibe going" includes everything from the obvious (suggestions to exercise and avoid drugs) to more esoteric tips on meditation and chakra awareness. The stylish design--funky text blocks and magenta-washed photographs of gorgeous teens--will draw plenty of browsers, and teens will trust Paul's friendly, unwaveringly positive voice, which keeps the focus on self-empowerment, not dating "rules." A great choice for reluctant readers. Gillian Engberg
