This book is adorable and I'm excited to introduce it to my tween nieces. Young girls will find it fun, relatable, and applicable to their daily lives. It's a humorous and easy resource for learning astrology while diving into good, sensible advice and encouraging self-reflection. Since it's for kids, I like that it doesn't just focus on romance, but also friendships and familial relationships.

The book is an astrology guide to different types of relationships including romantic relationships, friendships and also family relations. The guide was written in a quick and fun way with lots of pop culture references that every teen understands! Because the guide is divided by type of relationship and not by zodiac sign, it’s sometimes not that easy to find information about a specific relationship between signs.
The illustrations were really cute and diverse. They added a vibrant and cheerful touch to the book!
Overall, I would totally recommend this guide to a teen that is interested in astrology. It would also make the perfect gift for them!

Highly recommended for readers who are new to astrology and want to learn more about how astrology guides life. Recommended.

This book was a lot of fun, but felt like it was lacking a little substance. It was nice to see the book organized more by type of relationship than by sign, but it did mean that not ever situation was really accounted for, which is something the cover of book implies happens. It certainly presents itself as factual, but doesn't provide any real references or places for more info. Good, but not the best.

The Just Girl Project Book of Astrology was a fun read! The authors use humour and real life relatable examples in a variety of situations to make it really assessable for all readers. I very much enjoyed the infographics and pictures.

I have a one year old daughter and found reading about her sign particularly fun as i can already see personality traits forming. And of course it’s always fun to read about my own sign! I found it interesting how some of the information was different from information I’ve read before in the past and I sort of wonder where some of the info came from (ie research / data that wasn’t included in the book).

Thank you to NetGalley, the publishers, and authors for the gifted copy!

Great introductory work on astrology! As a new student of astrology myself, I liked it a lot. Great for the metaphysical section, will definitely be getting a copy for our growing collection.

Very Interesting

This was a very interesting and delightful book to read. The authors used basically every known relationship scenario possible for individuals, and there are graphics to depicts most situations. What is very nice to read is that the authors discusses the astrological signs' dating profile, along with some positive and negative traits for each sign.

Overall, I feel this is a very good book, especially for beginners.

I really liked the concept of this book. It was very spot on and accurate too. The illustrations are cute and relatable and i love astrology and learning about how to interact with other signs.

A cute and breezy book on Astrology that hits upon the interests of the casual astrology enthusiast without taking itself too seriously. The advice in this book is general, hitting on messages that most people could find useful while still broadly aligning with widely understood astrological concepts.

Unlike typical Astrology books, this one seems organized by life category (rather than by astrological sign). While this has cons for anyone who hopes to use it as a reference book, it certainly helps people find a broader understanding of the concepts it discusses.

Overall, a fun book to reference when you want some dating advice.

4 stars!

This is an interesting book. You can research by theme. I wish you could research by sign. It gives you the perfect amount of insight on zodiacs without making things complicated.

This is a quick, breezy, fun read. It's not organized by sign, which has pros and cons, but rather by theme (relationships, friendships, family. etc.). A lot of things are discussed in terms of elements rather than sun signs and compatibly is explored by representative pairings, which is interesting if it happens to be relevant to you, but you're out of luck if it's not.

I appreciated the creative elements of communicating ideas, like sample conversations, charts, and infographics. That made it visually interesting and fun to read. The language was so casual that it felt aggressively "hip" (yes, I realize that makes me sound ancient...). I don't mind slang, but I kept picturing Amy Poehler assuring us she's a "cool mom" as I read the text. Nonetheless, I would encourage anyone to pick this up if it appeals--it's fast, fresh, and enjoyable!

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!

This is an interesting book. I’m an Aquarius and most things are inaccurate to my personality and beliefs. For example, it says in the book that Aquarius people most likely enjoy art. I do not. Obviously everything won’t be 100% accurate because we are all different. However, maybe it could be a little more accurate? Also the book would be better if it was divided in the sections of zodiac signs. Then I would have to read the whole entire book to find out bits and pieces of my zodiac sign.

Over all this is a good book for young people depending on their level of maturity.. It's not complete but they don't need to be overwhelmed and if or when they decide this is something they want to pursue there are other books to further their studies.. The illustrations are very colorful and done well. All in all a good book!

Thank you to NetGalley, the publishers and authors for my ARC copy.

Super cute and fast read!

This book is packed with information on each zodiac regarding relationships, friendship and just in general.

I was so excited to have gotten a review copy through netgalley to read this and was not disappointing. It gives you the perfect amount of insight on zodiacs without making things complicated. I would have liked a bit more information in general but other than that I loved it

The Just Girl Project Book of Astrology was filled with content for anyone who is in the beginning stages of trying to learn or tap into some astrology. A guide for friendships, relationships, selflove and much more.
The illustrations are amazing all throughout the book, but the content was at times a little much for what I would consider the target audience. I did get this from the spiritual and teen & YA section but I'm not sure I would get this for my 14-year-old.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

This was an okay read for me. The content was very surface-level and for beginners. The illustrations is so aesthetically-pleasing combined with the pastel colors. Overall, an okay book. Would recommend to baby beginners (as in, those who have never heard of astrology before and just want to read for fun without actually diving deep to what the practice of astrology really means).
