About this eBook

*** NOW A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ***

Maci Bookout was just a normal, slightly overachieving high school girl in Chattanooga, Tennessee. But then she got pregnant, and everything turned upside down. Even as she rose to fame on MTV's hit series Teen Mom, Maci was struggling to balance life as a single teen mom with her own hopes and dreams...all while honoring her own sense of independence. 

This is the true story of how she took charge of the unexpected to build a life for herself and her son Bentley, and managed not to go crazy in the process. Because sometimes growing up is an act of will...and Maci's will is bulletproof.

Ratings and reviews

Maci wrote a wonderful book showing the struggles of having a baby at a young age. She's inspiring to all with the struggles she has gone through and how she has overcome so much. She was able to show the good and the bad of being a teen mom and how hard it is to maintain a relationship. I would def read any other books that she writes. Wishing her all of the best and will continue to watch her always. <3

I thought with all the hype about this book that it would be better. I was disappointed. I thought it was poorly written. She rambled quite often and jumbled her thoughts. She barely mentioned parts that weren't in the show like the reason her and Kyle broke up. For the most part, if you watch the show, you've read the book.

I absolutely love this book! I have watched the show since 16 & pregnant started airing and I have routed for Maci all along. I love how she has included her poem's and if you have watched the show you don't get to see the looks behind closed door's or every struggle that she has been through only what they allow to be aired. I will continue to look for any and all of Maci's books I have loved everything so far and I will always root for her.
