I wish this book had been around when I was a teenager and when I was raising my kids. It is filled with helpful tips for both boys and girls, from grades to social media to relationships and body issues. It is written in manageable chunks that make it the perfect book for your middle or high schooler! It is truly something that our kids, and parents, need in this day of being bombarded with social media and all of the negative side effects that it causes.

This was a solid read filled with thoughtful advice and empowering messages. It feels especially well suited for teens who might be navigating self worth, identity, and confidence. While most of it is advice driven and not super deep, the tone is warm and encouraging, and I appreciated its focus on self acceptance and personal growth. Definitely a good one to keep on hand for younger readers or those needing a confidence boost.

Yes, just all around yes. I love Tess’s positivity and ability to be truthful without be hurtful. This is a book. I wish had been around when I was a teenager.

I absolutely loved this book! As a teacher and school librarian, I immediately saw value for students. This book covers so many of the "question marks" that come up for young people & gives a great starting point for tackling these issues. I loved the engaging design of the book as well and think it would suit both pre-teen & adolescent readers. While the book is geared towards young people, I think this could still be a valuable read for educators, parents, or anyone who has a young person in their life - this book gives great context as to what our younger family members, friends, students, etc. Are going through and how we can support or guide them. My first step would be giving them this book!

A fun, fast read that gives advice, as well as specific guidance on what to do in certain uncomfortable situations. Although geared towards pre-teens and teens, adults can also benefit from its grounded advice. The quizzes at the end of each chapter are a fun way to engage with others, to help spread the book’s message of positive thinking.

Tess and Kelly share a lighthearted conversation about numerous topics pertinent to teens and young adults, especially those struggling with where they fit in this world. They give advice on how to be your best self and how to stand up for yourself. A helpful guide to mental health, friendship, body image, social media, and making healthy choices.

An excellent read that takes teens and young adults alike through a journey of self discovery and acceptance.

This book felt like a warm hug from a good friend. Tess and Kelly made a great self-help and personal growth book for teenagers of any background. They gave helpful and hopeful information that will stay timeless and covered topics such as body image, mental health, friendships, and making and keeping healthy habits. They cover important topics in an upbeat and often lightly humorous tone that will resonate well with readers. I would recommend this book to people of all ages and especially to middle and high schoolers. I wish I'd had a book like this growing up!
