Synopsis

From New York Times bestselling authors Michael I. Bennett, MD, and Sarah Bennett—a book for teens that shows listeners that we all deal with crap in our lives and how to laugh at some of the things we can't control.

Being a teenager can suck. Your friends can become enemies, and your enemies can become friends. Your family can drive you crazy. School and teachers can be a drag. Your body is constantly changing. And everyone seems to tell you to "just be you." But just who is that?

With their open and honest approach, father-daughter team Michael I. Bennett and Sarah Bennett's book is sure to appeal to teenagers and show them they aren't alone in dealing with fake friends, with parents who think they're "hip," and even how high school isn't everyone's glory days. Young listeners—and their parents—are sure to find this no-nonsense, real-life advice helpful, and it will help them realize that it's okay to talk to their parents and other advisors around them about big issues that might be uncomfortable to discuss.

About Sarah Bennett

Sarah Bennett has written for the internet, television, a monthly sketch comedy show at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in New York, and the arts section of her high school paper. She's also written two New York Times bestselling books of advice with her father. Mostly, Sarah walks her dog, watches Red Sox games, and enjoys being too old to care that much about most things.

Goodreads review by Amber on February 07, 2021

I picked this up at Goodwill along with four other self-help books for the year of “me”. I clearly didn’t look at the cover close enough as this is written for preadolescents and teenagers, thus at 35 most of the “help” in this book were lessons I’ve learned long ago along the way of life. I rated fo......more
