The guideline for rebels is a book for people who feel uncomfortable because they are different. All introverts, individuals, and outsiders have one thing in they can't fit in and they are not afraid to stand out. If you are one of them, check out this book. You can turn your failures into advantages. You don't have to be popular, the point is to accept your difference.
I am a Croatian multi genre indie author. Adrenaline stories, mysteries and thrillers are my favorite. If you are a fan of series, I recommend my mystery drama book The Seller of Sins. Since 2024 I am collaborating with Red Cape Publishing. My horor thriller " A dream about White Rabbit" got an audio version.
What Does It Mean to Be a Black Sheep? By Kristina Gallo Publisher: Independently Published Published Date: October 19, 2017 ASIN: B076M3X2FG Page Count: 55 Triggers: Bullying, social rejection, self-esteem issues, isolation Star Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What Did I Just Walk Into? A 55-page mic drop for every weirdo, loner, introvert, rebel, or black-clad outcast who ever got side-eyed at a school dance or ghosted at the office potluck. This book doesn’t just speak to the black sheep—it slaps a glittery sticker on your forehead that says, “Certified Individual, Do Not Conform.”
Kristina Gallo blends short personal stories, snappy advice, and some truth bombs about how society treats people who don’t fit the mold—especially those of us who gasp like being ourselves.
Here’s What Slapped: This little book packs a lot of insight into its slim page count. Gallo’s writing is conversational, fast-paced, and peppered with sharp wit that makes you feel seen and mildly roasted in the best way. She’s like that brutally honest friend who gives you a pep talk while also stealing your fries.
There’s a fantastic section on self-esteem, with relatable callouts about comparing yourself to J.Lo (guilty) or feeling like your “weirdness” is a flaw instead of a feature. The stories are honest, sometimes raw, and exactly the kind of validation some of us needed in our awkward teenage years—or yesterday.
Also, the metaphorical ships? Iconic. I will be painting mine black with green spots and sailing it into someone’s judgmental backyard barbecue.
What Could’ve Been Better: Look, I’d read 100 more pages of this. Give me more stories. Give me an entire “Black Sheep’s Survival Guide” series. The only real critique? It ended too soon. (Also, I want merch.)
Perfect for Readers Who Love: 🐑 Honest advice with a side of sass 🐑 Feeling seen when everyone else makes you feel other 🐑 Quick reads that hit harder than expected 🐑 Encouragement without sugarcoating 🐑 Books that say, “You’re not broken. They just don’t get you.”
