This pseudo-memoir reads like a guidebook of advice. I love the bubbles calling out specific mindset shifts throughout the chapters.

For me, it wasn't as relevant because a lot of it focuses on dating and building friendships, but I wish I had this when I was 25!

This book was good but also not necessarily anything new under the Sun. I didn’t know who Tinx is/was prior to reading though, so I did enjoy learning more about her and how her life experiences have shaped her ways of thinking & viewing the world around her. I think this book has a lot of helpful and uplifting tips, tricks, and information that is presented in such a way that makes it pretty accessible and easy to understand across all adult reading levels, but overall it wasn’t the most memorable for me.

This is a fun, light, and easy read. While I’m not the target audience as a happily married mom, I could see someone who is single really enjoying this.

I like how this book empowers readers to trust themselves further and think about things in different ways. It reads a lot like a comforting big sister’s advice.

Some of my favorite chapters discuss the importance of friendships, and how to find yourself again after heartbreak. I think it’s impactful that the speaker often pulls from life examples to help readers feel less alone.

It would be perfect for a beach or vacation read. Thank you to Simon & Schuster for the free copy for review.

A really enjoyable read full of fun funny with life advice thrown in .A book perfect for young women starting out looking for a mentor type with a glee for life to advise them.#netgalley #simon&schuster

Disclaimer: If Tinx's old tweets/retweets are triggering for you and you still don't forgive her, I respect that. In my humble opinion, I think Tinx has shown immense growth and that therapy has helped her to commit to growing/learning. However, that's just me!

Anyway, I'm partnered up but I still found many of the reminders and reframing of this book to be helpful. I love the messaging of enjoying and romanticizing your life right now, rather than only feeling accomplished or worthy once you're in a relationship. I think if you're feeling down about the dating pool or yourself, this would be a good, easy read. It reads as talking to your girlfriend over brunch.

Light, fun, and funny - this will definitely appeal to the younger crowd. Full of fluffy advice and empowerment with lots of catchy slang and pop culture references. Fun & bright!

Enjoyable but likely forgettable. I don’t have TikTok and only knew Tinx through a podcast I listen to that had her on it, but everything in the book was easy to read. I just don’t think anything was necessarily new? Seemed pretty generic, although I liked her casual writing style.

I really really needed to read this book, and I’m so glad I gave it a shot because it’s one of those that you don’t even know you need until you have it.

THE SHIFT is a so simple, yet so empowering way of changing one's perspective and living life fearlessly, with a heavy emphasis on prioritizing one's happiness and building a strong sense of self. Tinx is the cool older sister/role model to show you the way. As much as I devoured her sections on anything dating and boyfriends, it was the last part about one's relationship with self that I most loved and admired. Incredibly insightful with enough humor to not make it feel like a typical self-help book! I appreciate all what Tinx when through in her twenties to then feel the need to share it with the world - how lucky we are!

This book made me love Tinx more than I thought was possible. I can't wait to buy my own physical copy of this bible, I mean book.

Much gratitude to Simon & Schuster and NetGalley for the digital ARC in exchange for my honest thoughts!

I know she's "the internet's big sister" and that title is totally earned in her book. I read it in about two days becuase I found it so comforting and affirming. Like your sister or your best friend calling you on your shit and hyping you up at the same time. If you love her IG/TikTok, you're going to love this book. It's a lot of the same mantras she talks about online, but elaborated and fleshed out. Maybe I just liked it because her philosophies usually align with my own, but I think a lot of it is really great advice.

Thank you to Simon & Schuster and NetGalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

Although I’m in my 30s and a happily married mother of 2, and not the exact clientele this book was written for, I really really enjoyed it.

I finished it in one sitting because I truly felt like I was just sitting and having a chat with a girlfriend. Most of the book does revolve around advise for dating and breakups. But there is also information on how to maintain a good relationship with yourself as well as your friends.

I think what I really loved about this book, was how Tinx talks about the shift in so many occasions. I know I am so guilty of thinking one thing after a certain experience, but now I’m able to see how easy it is to make a shift. Especially because most of thoughts after a less than desirable situation are negative, shifting them to a positive seems like a game changer for me.

Overall, this was just a lovely book, that I was really delighted to read!

I’m always interested in reading a new dating book, but I disagreed so strongly with two of the author’s points that this was a DNF for me.
The first was that it’s best to take conversations off of dating apps and meet up in person as soon as possible. I have been on literally hundreds and hundreds of dates with guys from online in my lifetime. And a huge percentage of those consisted of sitting awkwardly at a restaurant with no chemistry and nothing to say to each other because we decided to meet up right away instead of taking a couple of days to talk and see if there was the possibility of a connection. I’m not willing to waste my time on any more of those dates, so I always talk to the guy a bit before committing to meeting him.
My other issue was with the idea that it’s totally fine to have sex on the first date if you really like the guy. I have a whole lot of experience in that department. Every time it has ended with me heartbroken because I strongly liked the guy, but he tossed me aside as soon as he got me into bed. There are a massive amount of jerks out there who act like they like you, but they really just want to use you for sex. At this point, I think it’s better to get to know a guy before immediately jumping into bed with him.
Obviously dating tips are subjective, but personally, I think the author is giving out advice that will end badly for a lot of women. But that’s just from my own experience.
