About the Book:

Should You Let Go, or Should You Hold On? Hmm… that is the Question!


Ever been in a relationship where you thought to yourself after a while “how in the heck did I get here, and how did I end up here with him?” Was there ever a time where you’ve honestly just felt foolish or stupid for being in certain relationships? If you’re like many of us – you have!


In Girl, Let Go or Be Dragged, author Shenise Truesdell offers a guide of proven actionable steps to help you avoid toxic relationships or leave those you’re already in.


As an etiquette consultant, Shenise stresses the importance of what she considers Etiquette 101, Be kind to you, first!


Being kind to yourself means making tough but healthy decisions, especially in your romantic connections to help avoid heartbreaks in the first place. This book delves into the lives of brave individuals whose stories provide insight into overcoming toxic situations and dodging them completely. Consider it a guide for introspection and self-reflection that will set you on the path to a healthier and wiser you!


The wisdom you will glean from this book:


• Trusting your intuition
• Setting and enforcing personal boundaries
• Making men earn the privilege of exclusivity to you
• Prevent being played or taken advantage of
• Being wary of dating men with low self-esteem
• Taking personal responsibility where it’s due
• And more!


If you’d rather cut through the hurt & pain of failed relationships, learn steps to love on yourself the way you deserve, and follow a proven roadmap that will save your emotions, sanity, and time, then Girl, Let Go or Be Dragged is for you!
