“Nope! Saying No with Grace and Grit is an easy yet motivational read. I find that sometimes women of faith are not transparent when it comes to trying to juggle our real raw emotions while trying to still live by faith. The Author Alicia is very real and transparent about the struggles we face in this walk. I love how she ties the Women we admire in the Bible, their personal struggles and how they turned them into personal strengths. I find the reflection questions particularly helpful to record and have the option to revisit at a later stage in life to track personal growth. Over all this book has added to my knowledge, strengths, and my tool box for setting boundaries without guilt.”

Alicia Collins shows us that saying no isn't selfish - it's essential. Her book "NOPE" breaks down the art of setting boundaries with both kindness and backbone. She calls this mix "grace and grit," and it's exactly what it sounds like: being firm without being harsh.

The book is refreshingly practical. It walks you through spotting situations where you should say no, dealing with the guilt that often follows, and setting limits with everyone from your boss to your mother-in-law. But what makes it special is how it frames boundary-setting as an act of self-respect rather than selfishness.

This isn't just another self-help book telling you to put yourself first. Instead, it's a guide to finding that sweet spot where you can take care of yourself while still being there for others. Alicia gets it - setting boundaries isn't about building walls, it's about creating healthy spaces where relationships can thrive.

If you're tired of saying yes when you really want to say no, this book is for you. It's especially helpful for those of us who break out in a cold sweat at the mere thought of turning someone down. Alicia shows us that with the right tools, we can protect our peace without losing our humanity in the process.
