I liked how it breaks down social skills step-by-step, without assuming you already know how to do everything.

This book is a great tool for building confidence, learning to communicate better, and feeling less awkward in social situations. Highly recommend!

I got this for my teenage son who’s been really anxious in some social situations—school, parties, even texting sometimes. We started going through it together, and he actually wants to do the exercises. It's helping him feel less alone and more capable, which is huge. He is not suddenly the center of attention, but I’ve seen him start to open up and try new things. Definitely a step in the right direction.

If you know a teen who is struggling socially, this book will help them. It empowers teens faced with the twin challenges of introversion and social anxiety to find their confidence and build their own social world. The casual approach and informal tone make it relatable and its focus on action and reflection to make it practical.
I like how comprehensive this book is. It contains the vital information teens need to know as they make their social journey. From the basics of how to make introductions and interpret social cues to navigating complex high school social hierarchies and learning how to maintain friendships, it artfully answers important questions.
The truly empowering part of the book is the way the author teaches teens that they don’t have to be a different person to have a fulfilling social life they just need to understand themselves and work with their unique strengths.

I got this for my little brother, but I ended up listening with him—and honestly, it’s way better than I expected. It doesn’t talk down to you or feel cheesy like some “teen” books do. The tips were actually useful, especially the stuff about handling anxiety before talking to people or giving a presentation. My brother said it made things feel less overwhelming at school and even helped him make a new friend. If social stuff makes you freeze up, this one’s definitely worth checking out.

Actually helpful without being cringey (a rare win
