The Joy of Saying No is a guidebook for recovering people-pleasers and a love letter to the power of boundaries. Natalie Lue includes relevant personal anecdotes as she strives to show others how to take back their time and power. Lue describes the different roles and strategies that readers may have grown up doing. She invites reflection and teaches methods to change stagnant dynamics that could be toxic. I think almost everyone I know could learn something from this book, myself included. The Joy of Saying No promises to give new life back to readers by establishing boundaries, recognizing patterns, and inviting reflection. 

Thank you so much to Natalie Lue, Harper Horizon, and Netgalley for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.
