Hi! It's me, Maggie. I hope you get to read a few pages of my diary — said no teenager ever! Consider it my gift to you: an inside look at the miseries and minds of every girl out there just trying to figure it all out. (And maybe, just maybe, if the moms understood a little better, we'd all have an easier time.)
It’s a simple idea, really, that girls and moms everywhere are so much the same, yet they all feel so alone! So I decided to share my super-private diary (you can thank me later). You’ll meet my mom Julie (she is totally overwhelmed) and, for some reason, she forgot what it was like to be 12. (She should read my diary so she can finally understand me…omg no she shouldn’t!!)

Whenever I read a book I love, I give it away.
So I thought — why not give away my own?
Read it.
Love it.

Told through the witty, heartfelt diary of a twelve-year-old who feels misunderstood,
this is a story about mothers, daughters, and the quiet truths that reveal how deeply connected they truly are.
A love-filled tribute to the women we become, the girls we once were,
and the mothers we never stop needing.
Woven with the movies, musicals, and cultural touchstones of her generation,
Lauren brings Maggie and her mom to life in a way that resonates with daughters
growing up—and the moms trying to keep up.
So here goes…It’s literally 3 steps.

- DM us (the link to our page is right here… CLICK HERE) and we will send you all that you need for your book so, *after you read it (and love it), you can pass it along and the next book will have all of the same info inside of it as the one you just found! Once you DM us, we will send you a little ‘thank you’ surprise gift, too! CLICK THE BUTTON . Buy a book, leave a review.
- After you read it - and then add the inserts we sent you in DM-Give it away! - gift it to a friend, leave it in a special place, drop it at a school, donate it to a teacher—You can even write your own note inside as well! I'd love for this story to make its way to girls and moms everywhere! Think of it as The Great Book Giveaway; every book that circulates is a small act of connection between women and girls who've never met
- (I know, I said only 3 steps…this one is a bonus)! Please leave us an Amazon Review !! It helps-it really does! Unknown authors like me need help with the Amazon algorithm!
My hope is simple: get this story out there, build a community of readers who pass the love along, and let’s laugh a little more through these adolescent years-after all, you were 12 once, too! I hereby grant you permission to share my story. Thank you!
