[Warden Bonsoir]

Legit might be the worst, most useless book I’ve ever read. So bad I’m writing a review.

[Genevieve]

Short and sweet, with a thorough self-assessment included. However, the advice felt a little weird at some points. Mainly the section where the author is telling us to just say "hi" and see what happens...but more specifically the example was (and I'm paraphrasing slightly because I don't have the book on me anymore) "If you see someone out on a run, just ask 'Nice run?'" or "If you see someone reading a book, just ask 'are you enjoying it so far?''

The introvert part of me is like ew that is not a normal way to start a convo without being creepy and ALSO please do not disturb me when I'm reading, I HATE that. Which I'm also sure every reader agrees with.

So if you take the advice not so literally, yes its a little boost in trying to form connections.

Good quick read, felt like advise I’ve heard from my mom several times since I’m a 26 y/o single lady! The self assessment alone is worth the read!
