Lads

Have you ever been in a room where there's a loud guy making inappropriate comments, cracking jokes that only he thinks are funny, or leering at the girls in the room? You can feel it in the room, right? That guy is causing a lot of tension and giving lads everywhere a bad name. This is a book about how not to be that guy. It's a book about getting comfortable calling out bad behaviour. And it's a book that will help you feel confident navigating the modern minefield of relationships and interacting with girls, while being the guy that makes girls feel safe, heard, and respected. From flirting with disaster and staying in the friend zone, to porn, locker-room talk, consent and inappropriate behaviour, this is a non-accusatory handbook for teens and young men who are fed up of that guy, and who want to be The Good Guy - the one that everyone wants to have around.
