I got this book for Christmas and I love it.Geometry is really hard for me so I really enjoy reading it.It may look extremely boring, but it's actually not.Danicka Mckellar tells her own stories and actually teaches you the formulas and how to do complicated problems.It also interviews students and you can read their stories too.So it's not ALL about math, geometry and learning, it's actually pretty fun to skim or read through it.If you aren;t taking geometry yet,you should check out her other books for algebra and "math sucks" and "kiss math."I really think this is a great idea to encourage kids (mostly girls, in this case) to do well in math and that they can do well.Please read her books, they really are enjoyable."Never judge a book by it's cover!"

New York Times bestselling author and mathemetician Danica McKellar tackles all the angles—and curves—of geometry
In her three previous bestselling books Math Doesn't Suck, Kiss My Math, and Hot X: Algebra Exposed!, actress and math genius Danica McKellar shattered the “math nerd” stereotype by showing girls how to ace their math classes and feel cool while doing it.
Sizzling with Danica's trademark sass and style, her fourth book, Girls Get Curves, shows her readers how to feel confident, get in the driver's seat, and master the core concepts of high school geometry, including congruent triangles, quadrilaterals, circles, proofs, theorems, and more!
Combining reader favorites like personality quizzes, fun doodles, real-life testimonials from successful women, and stories about her own experiences with illuminating step-by-step math lessons, Girls Get Curves will make girls feel like Danica is their own personal tutor.
As hundreds of thousands of girls already know, Danica's irreverent, lighthearted approach opens the door to math success and higher scores, while also boosting their self-esteem in all areas of life. Girls Get Curves makes geometry understandable, relevant, and maybe even a little (gasp!) fun for girls.
