Girl Code is the book that started everything for me. Cedella’s journey is emotional and sometimes messy, but that makes her feel human to me. She is strong in some situations and unsure in others. I think many readers relate to that mix.

I’ve had people tell me her struggle with confidence really hit home, and that means a lot. This book sets the tone for the whole New Beginnings series. It’s about friendship, growth and learning to value yourself, even when it feels difficult.

If you’re new to my books, this is the perfect place to start.
