Girl Talk by Nicole O’Dell

Review by Jill Williamson

Girl Talk is a 200-plus-page, glossy, full-color book filled with questions from teen girls. Nicole O’Dell and her daughters Natalie and Emily answer each questions with wisdom and grace. This is a great book for a girl to read on her own, for sisters or friends to read together, or for mom and daughter to read a little each day as discussion starters for some great topics.

Some of my favorite questions asked for advice in regards to:
-When your friend is babysitting your siblings and bringing her boyfriend along but your parents don’t know.
-Whether or not the bible old-fashioned and out of touch with today.
-Dating a boy to teach him more about God.
-Why I still feel guilty when I know God has forgiven me.
-A boy texting me when he knows I’m not allowed to text him.
-What do do for your overseas military dad to let him know you’re proud of him.
-How to fit in and still be modest.
-Whether it’s fair for parents to know all your passwords for email and Facebook.

The questions in this book were selected from actual questions they authors have received on their popular advice blog that you can find through the Nicole O’Dell website. Check out the blog to get an idea of how this book works. This is a great book to encourage and challenge a teen in their faith.
