Rydel Lynch is back! And this time, she's doing way more than gracing the cover of GL—she created her own special, limited-edition issue. Rydel: Rock Your Life is every girl's ultimate guide to fashion, fitness, friends, fun (and everything else!). We know, we know: You have *so* many questions. We've got answers to all your top Qs below...and if ya have more? Just post them in the comments and one of the GL girls will get back to you.

"OMG! What's in it?" Whether you want to learn how to make new friends, plan a rockin' road trip or bond with your bros, Rydel can help. Her special-edition issue is packed with amazing advice on everything from throwing the perfect party to finding a passion and living a life you'll love. Plus: Rydel teaches you how to define your style, twist her fab fishtail braid, play her favorite card game, whip together a healthy meal and so much more. The best part? It's all *totally* doable. Oh, and don't worry, #R5family: There's tons of bonus content for fans of the band, too—like exclusive family photos, fun quizzes and—*GASP*—even the real story behind Rydellington. 

"Where can I get a copy?" Beginning on July 10, grab it on newsstands exclusively at Barnes & Noble and Walmart. Once July 14 rolls around, find it on newsstands everywhere! Don't live in the United States? Don't worry! We made sure that *every* girl will be able to purchase a copy (either in stores or online), no matter where you live. CLICK HERE to see a list of all the places you can pick up a copy in the U.S. and internationally.

"Will GL subscribers get it in the mail?" This limited-edition special issue is available *only* on newsstands...and for a limited time.

"I feel like I'm hearing Rydel's name everywhere." That might be because R5's second studio album, Sometime Last Night, is dropping on July 10. Oh, and they're heading out on a world tour starting July 7. CLICK HERE to check it out.
