Faint-at-heart selectors will likely run from this splendid title for its authors have all done bad things. Sadly, such unnecessarily cautious adult behaviour will deny today's teen girls the opportunity to meet the seven girls whose true and non-preachy stories contradict the adolescent egocentric claims that no one has ever experienced what I'm experiencing and no one has ever felt what I am feeling! Best of all, each of these in-print girls, now women, is more than just a survivor of her experience. Parents and teachers would also be well served by spending reflective time with Nerves Out Loud. Hopefully, the publication of this book will spark the production of a companion piece focusing on teen males. Highly Recommended.--Dave Jenkinson Canadian Materials (10/05/2001)

The selections are varied, but all are gutsy reminiscences of what it is to be young and female.--Frances Bradburn Booklist (10/01/2001)

The writing is passionate and compelling, pulling readers into the lives of these strong, yet vulnerable people. -- Susan Geye School Library Journal (10/01/2001)
