I didn't know who this lasy is, but through the book I learned thaf she is a TikTok person. Her tips seem appropriate for that crowd.
I love Tinx and all of her theories/advice. If you follow her on social media, a lot of this will be a repeat for you but it’s definitely still worth recommending!!
Better than I anticipated and full of good reminders! There were a fair number of eye roll moments, and I think this is a great book to remind yourself to take what works for you and ignore the stuff that doesn’t quite resonate. Overall. I appreciate that Tinx is blunt with her advice, and it’s fairly action-oriented as well, for both nurturing friendships and dating. I would say I was most disappointed in how *everything* seemed to come back to dating and romantic relationships though. Even the chapter on body image was like “don’t waste your time hating your body; better confidence = better sex and romance.” Which like, okay sure, but would it also just not be valuable to reject society’s beauty standards and move closer to a place of self-acceptance (recognizing that it’s not a linear path to get there)?
This is self help but not really. Honestly it’s one of the best, most concise books about dating I’ve ever read. In terms of advice, it really fits with healthy psychotherapy and coping skills.
This is the kind of book I will come back to many times in the future just to read some of the wisdom Tinx has written within it in such a short, no-bull-shit, eloquent way. Especially valuable for single women in their twenties / thirties but can be relevant to people in all stages of life because it’s a book about living for YOU and no one else. I loved her writing style - chapters are short and the messages are concise & clear. Tinx has an awesome personality and genuinely just wants to help others by sharing what she’s learned through her own experiences. She’s got a great podcast where she shares a lot of these messages in 15-25 min episodes that I also love.
To me, this book is about taking the status quo beliefs that we are so inclined to follow and shifting the way we think about them. It’s about realizing the power is in your hands to view your life the way YOU want to, not the way others want you to or the way society naturally pushes you to.
Will definitely keep following Tinx.

Everyone without parental issues seeing all these self-help books: keep scrolling and lemme alone I'm trying to learn. This was a new release I accidentally picked up in the store and got sucked into because the page I opened up to was talking about an ick list. There's a ton, loads even, of bullshit women empowerment out there, none of which have ever girlbossed their way into my head. The book honestly did exactly what it set out to, shifted my perspective of my self-worth by releasing the shame that comes from being socialized to look to others to define your value as a woman.
I also deeply admire/resonate with the author for taking the risk to write this because it was something she needed to hear. Needed this. Enjoyable, light, real, funny, serious. Glad I read it.
"Honestly, I needed The Shift so much in that moment. I never once thought, 'Am I my best self around them?' Or even 'What do I like about them?' Instead, I thought of all about the ways I could shift myself to make them happy"
