This is the kind of audiobook I've been waiting to hear for a long time. My niece as well as many other teens that I know suffer from a lack of social skills and awareness. A lot of the parents just think that is how their child has to be but this is not the case and this book is the way to make these positive changes!

Kimberly goes into lot’s of detail on understanding why teens develop social anxiety and how to overcome it. She delves into how to build and maintain relationships with friends and also how to move forward when some friendships come to an end. Public speaking is another interesting subject that is covered very well in the book. I also liked how joining a new school is covered as that is something I went through at 15 years old going into my final year when everyone was already settled in their friendship groups. Parents should give this a listen as it will truly help teens become more social and confident.

Such an important book for teens!

I got this for my younger brother, but ended up listening too, and honestly, it’s solid. It doesn’t talk down or try too hard to be cool, just gives real advice that makes sense. The exercises are simple once you try them. He said it helped him feel less weird in group stuff at school, and I’ve seen him open up more.
