Helped My Niece Through Tough Times

I picked up this audiobook for my niece who's been dealing with the usual high school stuff like fitting in and stressing over exams. She's 15 and doesn't always open up, so I thought something like this might give her a nudge without me pushing too hard. I listened to a couple stories first to check it out, and they hit on things like dealing with friend drama and building up your nerve to speak up. What I liked was how the characters go through real mess-ups but figure out small ways to handle it better next time. My niece started listening during her bus rides, and she mentioned one story made her think about setting limits with her group chat friends who were being too pushy. The prompts at the end got her jotting down notes in her phone, which surprised me since she's not big on that. It's short enough that she doesn't get bored, and now she seems a bit more chill about her worries. As her uncle, it's cool to see her gaining that extra bit of confidence without feeling lectured. Definitely worth it for any guy looking to support the young women in his life.

Perfect for Teen Girls

This book offers teenage girls the knowledge and confidence they need as they navigate the challenges of becoming young women. Written as a series of short stories, it is easy to understand and enjoyable to read. I would highly recommend it to all my friends with young daughters for its genuine and reassuring support during what can be a difficult time in their lives.
