A daughter’s diary of growing up—and growing closer

Twelve-year-old Maggie uses her diary to make sense of the daily frictions of adolescence, from misunderstandings at school to tension at home with her overwhelmed parents. Her entries trace a shifting view of her mother: Maggie insists she does not care what she thinks, even as their connection becomes harder to ignore. The novel frames coming of age as something mother and daughter experience together, with references to movies, musicals, characters, and music from the author’s adolescence forming part of Maggie’s world. Its diary structure keeps the focus on her own observations and questions as family life changes around them.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in stories about adolescence and family relationships
  • Readers who enjoy diary-form narratives centered on a young protagonist
  • Parents and daughters interested in mother-daughter bonds
