this book kinda started out lame.. her ABC'S are all about matching the A to something that started with an A.. instead of highlighting the most important rule and placing it as a first.. and so.. and B to something that starts with B.. all the way to Z!.. i think the author focused a little too much on making her book look good rather than the idea she wanted to deliver.. i think that was kinda forgotten somewhere while writing the book, not to mention the repetition of ideas..

"We speak with our faces although we may never say a word."

I think this is more of a reference book. TBH, I read it from the back! I am not sure if its a rebellious gesture, but I found the front part to be uninteresting. But the middle chapters 'social skills', 'self discipline', 'demonstrate a positive attitude', and 'areas of distinction' were helpful! I read it and felt the author was like a wise mentor, if not mother! I felt loved, but I didn't finish it before I needed to return. I will definitely pick this up and read it again for reinforcement.
Somewhat childish writing, mostly good tips, end was completely boring.
