I think it'll be good for my shy preteens and teens.

[Pía López Copetti · Rating 2 out of 5]

Some tips are actually good, but it tends to be a tedious book in general.

[franthormel · Rating 2 out of 5]

I read it to see if I am shy or not. The contents are quite common sense and most of them can be experienced in our daily lives.

Practical and easy to follow. Maybe lack over structure?
