There were some decent bits of advice near the beginning of the book, but by the time I reached the 50% mark, it was already going downhill, fast. From fat-shaming the former popular girl from her high school (this just screams insecure and holding onto jealousy for far too long), to detailing how she didn't get a call back for a second date after levelling the tiniest criticism at the movie, suggesting that her date took the criticism personally and was so fragile that single criticism was the reason she didn't get a call back, to the suggestion that men now have to be hypervigilant when out in public now because women are no longer tolerating casual sexual assault and harassment...just ugh.

The bulk of her advice comes down to people pleasing to such an extreme it's unhealthy and can't possibly result in authentic connections.

Skip this one and read Frientimacy by Shasta Nelson.
If you're up for some YouTube videos, check out Charisma on Comand. I love his Game of Thrones breakdowns!
Charisma on Comand also has an online course called Charisma University if this is something you're interested in.
All are much better choices than this one.
