If I Knew Then What I Know Now

As a thirty-year-old, reflecting on my adolescent self, I realize there are so many life lessons to be learned. The common phrase "If I knew then what I know now . . ." is the basis of my book. While reading this book, you will get a glimpse into a normal, everyday girl's life growing up. By reading an actual misspelled young girl's diary entry followed by a typed thirty-year old's reflection, you will see how life affects us behind closed doors. Growing up, we experience many ups, downs, wish-I-dids, glad-I-didn'ts, best-day-of-my-lifes, worst-day-evers, and everything in between. This book shows that people are not alone at this age. Get ready to relive making friends, new schools, fitting in, school dances, boyfriends, and first kisses with a whole lot of bumps along the way. Growing up is tough-for everyone. We've all made mistakes, and we've all looked back and thought, If I only knew then what I know now . . .
