SUNNY SIDE OVER: DIARY #6

Middle school mishaps (Sigh)… Menstruation celebrations (Say, what?!)… And Navigating nerd-dom (Ugh!) Life's got more twists than a pretzel. And I'm spilling it all in the pages of my diary dedicated to my birth mother, the one who's been missing from my life for 12 years. From the hilariously embarrassing, to the toe-curling cringe, like how my dad’s new girlfriend threw me a “Period Party” to celebrate my “womanhood.” (Seriously, who does that?)  Or the fact that her son insists on wearing a dinosaur head 24/7. And let's not forget that my once-normal dad has gone full-on “hipster.” Add to it my OCD going into overdrive, the possibility of my BFF moving away, and that I’m the perpetual target for spoiled fruit at my middle school— well, let’s just say my life is a battlefield of embarrassment! So, fasten your seatbelts for yet another wild ride through the eyes of this quirky teen as I navigate family, friendship, and my never-ending quest for the sunny side of life. ♥Readers will both laugh and cry in this heartwarming sixth installment of The Confessions of a Nerdy Girl diary series as Willa struggles with the breakup of her adoptive family and her continued quest for peer acceptance in the diary entries dedicated to her birth mother.
