i feel this book was written for me. i have drank many wrong coffees, paid $$$ tips for ugly manicures, endured too many random convos when i could have just walked away, and made myself as small as possible so the stranger next to me can have both of the armrests to themselves.
being rude is recognizing your needs is just as important as other people's
is feeling okay saying "im not interested" instead of "i have a boyfriend" so as to not hurt a stranger's ego
is not feeling like a karen for returning an order or request a redo of your haircut
the book is so readable, down-to-earth and empowering. it offered many examples of how to be positively rude in different situations, and how it can usually benefit everyone.

everyone needs to read this book!!! rebecca reid makes a clear distinction between being an asshole and being assertive and getting what you want. girlboss af not even being sarcastic. the chapters are a perfect length, her examples are relevant and she has an effortlessly funny writing style that made this book so easy to read. i loved this book and will definitely make a conscious effort to take her advice as i enter my 20s ily rebecca reid ur a queen
My favorite parts of this book were the little 2-3 page chapters on "rude" women. I learned much about women I knew, and met a few women I wish I had known earlier. If you only pick up this book to read those nine small, short, easily-absorbed female biographies, your time will not be wasted.

Used the following phrase unironically:
"Hey! I'm so glad you reached out. I'm actually at capacity / helping someone else who's in crisis / dealing with some personal stuff right now, and I don't think I can hold appropriate space for you. Could we connect [later date or time] instead / Do you have someone else you could reach out to?"
Beyond the first few chapters you can see it will not go further in depth or actually explain its intention. Be firm and true to your emotions and feelings, and save yourself the time of reading this.
