Rookie is really one of my favorite websites, it introduced me to so many new things and it kind of changed my life. I'm so glad that they came up with this book, it's nostalgic to see those lovely pictures and articles and playlists and interviews that I've only been able to read on the computer. It's really a visual feast. The extra goodies are amazing, totally worth the money. Thank you so much Tavi and the people behind Rookie <3

As a teenager I would have loved that book! And as a woman in my late 20s I thouroughly enjoyed it and I am happy to know that such initiatives as the rookiemag.com blog exist. It's nice to find in the bookstores reading material for young girls who seek advice and someone who shares and is aware of their concerns.

Oh my, almost as soon as I opened this up and started reading, I got shivery goosebumps. This is exactly what I always wanted to read as a teenager.

In the end though, what kept me reading, what I kept not being able to get over, was this uncompromising, very specific expectation of and demand for consideration and respect. Tavi and her ladies understand what it is to be female in this culture - they embrace the girliness (to varying degrees), and they articulate very clearly how girls can enjoy their femininity while maintaining a firm grasp on the nature of true beauty. While they acknowledge that watching fashion can be a really fun hobby (oh it is - I have bought and kept every September issue of Vogue since 1978), they remind girls that each model has spent three hours in a makeup chair and been Photoshopped all the way to Jesus and back.

To keep and reference as one would a Norton. Tavi is a powerhouse to command a ship of this import and cargo.

This book is so greatttttt. I wish I could give it to my own teen self but I am so happy I can give it to other teen girls and show them that it is okay to love things and okay to be and like yourself (and that there will be times you don't, but it's okay -- you'll get through it).
