by Gilda Carle

Dr. Gilda Carle has been telling teens the hard truth about boys, relationships, and growing up for more than twenty years. Teens have relied on her straight-shooting advice 'in her columns and television appearances. She's been called "TVs # 1 talk-show therapist, hotter than the Sahara, part philosopher and part stand-up comic" (Gannett). Now, Dr Carle brings her effective, commonsense approach on romance to teenage girls. He's Not All That! shows girls how to protect themselves from the not-so-good guys. Her direct and honest writing demonstrates how to find stable, loving relationships-both with guys and girls-and prevent a lifetime of unhealthy and unhappy commitments. The book is jam-packed with quizzes, exercises, and, of course, her famous "Gilda-Grams," which are guaranteed to address girls' most pressing problems. He's Not All That! includes unique empowerment tools that make girls independent thinkers who don't let boys or friends rule their lives. Girls will learn how to feel good about themselves-no matter who is trying to pull them down-and to confront people who don't have their best interests at heart. They will feel competent and confident wherever they go.
