I already loved following all his stories on Instagram so this was just a fun and really uplifting compliment to them.

Just finished the audiobook! Been a long time bestie observer and this book did not disappoint! What an entertaining way to remind us all that we are bad bitches 🫶🏼

Of all the "Influencers" who have written books, this one is the only one I would recommend! Misha, bestie, is true to himself and helps us become true to ourselves! As he suggests, what would you say to your bestie if they were going through your situation? Then do that!

Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC! I love watching Misha on social media, his videos have made me laugh, and made me cry. I wish I lived in Austin, so we could meet IRL and hopefully become besties!

This was a great self-help book and I will recommend to others!

Those who follow Misha on social media will recognize his signature blend of snark and sass in this guide to becoming your own bestie. For long-time followers, some of the stories will be familiar. There was nothing earth-shattering about the advice itself, but all in all, this was an enjoyable read. Definitely recommended for fans of our favorite Bestie!

Misha is known for his social videos where he lets his opinion be known. He loves to share love and hope for a better world, while taking down bullies and cruelty. He stands up for people who have been overlooked or slighted. He does it with sass and I am here for it. Most importantly of all, he teaches you how to stand up for and love yourself. Go Misha! ❤️🫂

I need to listen every day to snippets of this wisdom-filled, funny encouraging self-improvement guide! I so enjoyed Misha's advice and his reading of his own work. HIS voice MADE the book that much better!

I read this book in one sitting and it was everything I expected and more. Misha is a take no s**t off
anyone while at the same time being kind and insightful with those around him. This book was a
thoughtful guide to becoming your own "bestie".

🎧 the audiobook was great and full of Misha’s typical sass and flamboyant, encouraging energy. I enjoyed the stories he shared and the way he encouraged readers to actually do the work of healing, growing, and becoming their own best friend
