“A black millennial coming of age story, sure to capture the hearts of all ages”
Margie is the girl every girl wants as a best friend. She is supportive, honest, fun, a natural leader, and has a mind of her own. Yes, she’s still learning, but Margie is clear on who she is right now and what she deserves.
Even though senior year is thrilling, Margie isn’t removed from the reality of being a teenager raised by blue-collar workers. Figuring out how to pay for college tuition adds extra pressure as Margie balances having a boyfriend, enjoying senior year (2006-2007) with her friends, sports, a difficult loss in her family, and other teenage issues. Through it all, Margie manages to maintain her witty, spunky, and at times, humorous attitude.
