In this insightful book, Ordway strikes a delicate balance between traditional etiquette and the evolving norms of contemporary society.

What sets this book apart from others in the genre is its ability to address complex etiquettes, such as social media and online communication, with clarity and relevance. Ordway acknowledges the shifting landscape of technology and emphasizes the significance of maintaining polite and respectful behavior through these platforms. Her practical advice on managing online presence and engaging with others on social media is particularly invaluable for the modern reader.

By doing so, she promotes the idea that good manners transcend borders and are crucial for fostering harmonious relationships in our globalized world.

While this book excels in providing practical advice and useful strategies, some readers may find certain sections to be repetitive or overly familiar.
