I picked this up because I struggle with saying "no" to my friends and I tend to freeze up during group projects. The advice is honestly really solid, it breaks down exactly what it looks like to be assertive without being a jerk. I especially liked the specific "scripts" and ice-breakers included; having actual words to practice made the whole concept feel less scary and more like a skill I could actually learn. It’s easy to read and doesn’t drag on, which is a huge plus.
However, for a book with "Teens" in the title, some of the examples felt a little too grown-up. There’s a lot of focus on workplace scenarios (like two guys competing for a job) which felt more like something my dad would read than something for high school. The advice still works for school stuff, but I had to mentally "translate" the office examples to fit my own life. It’s a great tool, just be ready for it to feel slightly more corporate than the cover suggests.
