There is no book to teach these parts. Books teach some simple principles but there are many right ways to write code. Ask your manager and coworkers for real feedback. Let them know that you can take anything. It even set up some anonymous feedback method. And no matter what they tell you don't get defensive. Just say thank you for the feedback and reflect on it later. You can even get mad later but still please try to see it from their side. 99.99% of people really are just trying to help you. Last look at how coworkers are writing code and how they are solving problems. I still learn daily from reading others code.

I totally agree with learning from others do but I don't think you'll get too much use out of asking for honest feedback.

Either people won't trust it's 100% anonymous, won't see an upside for themselves or maybe bad actors.
