...a great book to have around as your child grows up...—Parents in Touch
Katie's advice seems wise and positive.—Midweek Herald
...an encouraging read and one I'd recommend to all young people.—Read by Jess (blog)
From problems at school, relationships with friends, and being unhappy about your appearance to feeling sad or worried all the time, and questioning your sexuality, Thistleton takes her correspondents very seriously, but skilfully leavens her advice. Probably the most memorable (and valuable?) aspect of the book is Katie's own revelations of feelings and incidents from her teenage and younger years, which encourages readers to realise that they are not the only one to have had that worry.—Bridget Carrington, Armadillo magazine
