Book overview

Hit podcast host Max Dubrow reveals what teens wish their parents understood, with insight from Dr. Judy Ho.

Most parents know being a teenager is hard but have no idea what is actually going on in their teen’s life. Podcast host and teenager Max Dubrow, of Real Housewives fame, breaks it down for parents, setting the record straight . . . ish.

Whether your child is just entering their teenage years or on the way out of them, Max Dubrow provides a peek into what teens like herself are really experiencing—and what they want parents to know about it. This book includes:

  • insights from clinical and forensic neuropsychologist Dr. Judy Ho
  • key takeaways for parents
  • quotes from teens 

In I’ll Give It to You Straightish, Max pulls back the curtain on the emotional life of today’s teens, providing valuable insight to anyone close to a Gen Z teen.

Review

“Teenager [Max] Dubrow shares her inside knowledge of growing up as an adolescent in Gen Z, partnering with supportive information from [Dr. Judy] Ho, a psychology expert and media presenter . . . This practical manual is organized with equal input, from Dubrow’s fresh talk for fellow teens to Ho’s professional overview directed toward parents. Their guidance could prove invaluable for teens and parents seeking to understand each other and themselves in  light of the latest trends and heightened sensibilities.” —US Review of Books, Recommended

I feel like I know adolescents, who are figuring out their sexuality and their general discontent with the culture, who have a way more original take and articulation about what it’s like to be struggling and exploring. Can’t imagine this book would have seen the light of day without a lot of push and clout behind it.
