Actually helpful without being cringey (a rare win

I got this for my little brother, but I ended up listening with him—and honestly, it’s way better than I expected. It doesn’t talk down to you or feel cheesy like some “teen” books do. The tips were actually useful, especially the stuff about handling anxiety before talking to people or giving a presentation. My brother said it made things feel less overwhelming at school and even helped him make a new friend. If social stuff makes you freeze up, this one’s definitely worth checking out.
