The Shift by Tinx

4.0

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)?
