Weston's signature book, Girltalk: All the Stuff Your Sister Never Told You, is now in its fourth edition and has been translated into over a dozen languages. She is also the author of the Ava Wren series and the Melanie Martin series. Weston's latest book, Speed of Life, was praised by The New York Times as "perceptive and moving and funny."
