I received this book as an advanced reader copy for my honest opinion. I am a highly sensitive person and have a son who is as well. This book is incredibly informative and I plan to gift him the paperback copy when it releases. This book starts off with a quiz to see if you fall into the HSP category, then it goes into how to approach parents, teachers, friends, etc about why some things are so upsetting and how to work around that. The book gives very specific tips on what to do in certain situations like for example when your sense of smell is affected, you can step outside, open a window, chew a piece of gum, smell something that is pleasing to you, put on a mask…it does this for all the senses and provides practical solutions for getting out of situations when you are extremely bothered. The book addresses interpersonal conflicts, being away from home and more. I think this is an excellent book for anyone who is highly sensitive or has a sensitive family member or stident. It would be an amazing gift for an HSP teen.

This is my honest opinion on this book. I rate it 5 stars.

This was the book that I needed as a Teen. It makes understanding the personality of a Highly Sensitive Person super easy. I also loved all the practical tips for walking through the world with this extra gift. I will definitely be getting a copy of this for my classroom, when it's released.
Thanks to Netgalley and the Publisher for the ARC.

This was a really great resource, thank you so much for this ARC opportunity. Our household is highly sensitive, we are mostly learning what that means now. Our oldest is entering preteen phase and we’re seeing changes already where we feel in over our head. This has given me some peace of mind and reassurance. I want to get this for the shelf for her to start looking through and it to be there when she’s ready. Thank you again!
