Excellent book for women who have ADHD or think they may. Tracy shares in depth information and research specifically on symptoms and behaviors that women have. She explains why women with ADHD do not need to feel shame but rather are able to turn their ADHD into an asset. I highly recommend reading this book.

This book is a must-read for anyone who has (or suspects they have) ADHD, especially for those in the early phases of self discovery. The author does a beautiful job of presenting a balance of research-based information (without it being overwhelming), real life stories (her own and those of other ADHD women), and practical tips for thriving with ADHD that can be implemented TODAY. I really appreciated her candidness in sharing her experiences, which bring true comfort and relief to those of us who might be saying, "I thought it was just me!" I giggled along with her stories (and boy does she have some good ones!), and I felt my heart open as I witnessed the vulnerability of all the women who shared their deeply personal experiences. I left the book with a feeling of hope, courage, and agency infused into me through the author's contagious optimism and powerful strengths-based approach. I wholeheartedly believe in the author's mission to change the conversation around ADHD and women, and I share in her hope and belief that we can all learn how to start trusting ourselves again and truly reach our full potential.

Truly helped me look at my ADHD in a different light and to know my stressors but also how to channel that chaotic energy. Thank you!

Funny and helpful to guide people through what ADHD is and how to better understand family members with ADHD. It is a helpgul reframing of ADHD as more a superpower and a good thing rather than a condition for the worse,

A must read for neurodivergent women! Otsuka dispels so many myths regarding ADHD and illuminates the audience with information, without overwhelming with jargon.

This book is a transformative approach to learning about women who have ADHD. The insights in this book were tremendously helpful, especially as a woman waiting on a diagnosis of ADHD. The "Oh My Gosh I'm Not Alone" feeling was increased by reading the women's stories and testimonials. The author does an excellent job of explaining all information in a timely and chronological format. The pages flowed into one another and made this an easily digestible read. I would definitely recommend this book for addition to our self-help book collection. Incredible book. Thank you!

It's fair to say that Tracy Otsuka probably saved me from the depths of ADHD diagnosis grief when I found her podcast in 2019. Since then I have learned so much from her, and have been eagerly anticipating her writing a book ever since.

She has more than met my expectations.

To write a book about ADHD that this ADHDer can't put down is a bit of a task. But Tracy, with her sassy humour, compassionate straight-talking, and relentless optimism in the abilities of the ADHD brain, it's a compelling and motivating read. I love just how much I can hear Tracy reading this to me even though I'm reading it myself, that voice I know and love so well from her podcast oozes out of these pages.

If you're looking for a book that will help you not only understand how your ADHD brain works, but also how you can tap into all that is possible for you because of that brain, then I cannot recommend Tracy's book enough. She knows you, she believes in you and she knows that you are brilliant. And she will help you believe that too!

This book wants to teach you to accept your adhd & use it to your advantage when possible. It's quite positive, & does have helpful tips. However, there are 2 types of adhd & the author seems to have the more energetic, type A personality version, & she speaks more on what relates to her. I have the other type of adhd, so some things aren't relatable or helpful. It is still worth a read if you're like me

I tend to avoid nonfiction. However, the title of this book hooked me.

I cannot recommend this book enough for individuals (especially women) with ADHD. I feel seen, reassured, and empowered.

I love that this book encourages readers to accept and celebrate their neurodivergent brains, while offering concrete steps and strategies to do so.

This was truly powerful, and I’m so glad I stepped out of my typical genre for this one.

Thank you Net Galley and William Morrow for this advanced reader’s proof. Opinions are my own.

This was a really helpful book as someone who struggles with ADD. It was a lot more apparent as a kid, and then I felt like I had gotten a hold of it in college, but then it got to be challenging in certain jobs where I needed to absorb lots of information in a short period of time. There were definitely some tips I already knew and use, and some were new to me. The best part of this book was it wasn't all about changing yourself to be "normal" and parts of it harped on the importance of embracing our ADD and loving who we are for it. Definitely wasn't expecting that in this book and it was a good reminder.

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for the ARC!

I got a lot of great info from this book as a neurodivergent woman. Some of the info was not new, or necessarily relevant to me. I definitely took a lot of tips from this book. What struck me most was how women are taught by society to “hide” their symptoms or “act” a certain way. It was so validating to hear that this cycle girls get stuck in (neurologically speaking) isn’t “my” fault.

I found this empowering for myself, as well as for my daughters who likely will grow up with neurodivergent features (because genetics). I hope to teach them that they are valid and they can absolutely act like themselves in order to inspire confidence. This book is a must read whether you’re diagnosed or not. There are excellent resources and support throughout this book. I was shocked to find some of the techniques I already did and “taught” myself. Easy 4.5 stars!

Finally a book on ADHD geared towards women and how our brains work. That not about trying to change ourselves. But about loving how our brains for how they are and how they work.

This book has changed my life. I am always rushing around completing tasks quickly. I never know how to relax. I didn't realize it was because I was compensating for my brains inability to have short term memory. Now I work on finding a way to help keep me on task without being rushed or stressed out. I am undiagnosed and that's okay. I can still learn about myself.
