0, beware, my lord, of jealousy, says Iago in an oft-quoted passage from Shakespeare's Othello, but according to this addition in the Girls Dealing with Feelings series, the Moor of Venice has nothing on the teenage girl when it comes to the green-eyed monster. Snyder starts at the heart of the matter as she describes jealousy, distinguishes it from envy, and ties it back to the growing problem of low self-esteem in high-school girls, before going on to explore how jealousy works with siblings, friends, and boyfriends alike. Though sparse on pictures, this guide is peppered with enough anecdotes, scenarios, and quizzes to keep a reader engaged, and a chapter on irrational jealousy could no doubt be invaluable to a girl struggling with a toxic friendship or relationship. A solid installment on wellness for teens., Booklist October 1, 2014
