Description

*** 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.

Very good quick read

I like this book! I don’t love it because I didn’t learn anything new about Maci. She’s an awesome mom though! Her poems throughout were beautiful as well!

Beautifully written

I was a teen mom myself and this book was such a great read. Though my story is almost completely different I could still relate to many parts of the book. Can’t wait to read the second one now!

Awesome

I've been watching every single episode from day 1! Although I am older, these girls gave me strength when I needed it. And to see how far they have all come in all of their journeys should be a testament for all teen moms out there!!

New found respect

I have a new found respect for young mothers. This book has not only opened my eyes about Maci but every other teen mom. Inspiring read! I hope Maci lots of luck and continued happiness in her life! Hopefully she writes another!

Couldn't put it down!!

I really enjoyed this book and remember seeing what she went through. With watching the shows it helped me envision it better. I also learned a thing or two that was not hit on as much through the show that was in the book. Over all great book! Can't wait to read more about her life as her family continues to grow!!

So inspiring

I started reading this book thinking I already knew what was inside after watching Maci on 16 & Pregnant and Teen Mom. This book met and fully surpassed any expectation I had for it. It was such a joy to read such an inspirational book that was so well written. So in depth with detail that you could picture the conversation and reactions as they were described to you. Beautifully written, Maci. This book is not just about a young mom making it. This book is about the things a young mom did with her time and effort that gave her the freedom for her own future and a life she is proud to be living.

Simply amazing

I don't even have anywhere near the same struggles as Maci and I find incredible strength from this. I found myself thinking "look at everything Maci has done." It helped me get through a hard time. I love this book and I'm glad I read it. Even though I have never had the pleasure of meeting her I feel like she's had a positive impact on my life. Thank you for that.

Great Read!!

As a Maci fan I chose to read this book. The book was well written and you could not only see how much she adores Bentley, but also the struggles she faced. I read the reviews prior to reading and the negative ones are for the birds so ignore the negative Nancy's and read this book. I couldn't put it down and finished it in two days. I would read it again.

Great Book!

I loved this book! Maci was my favorite on the show, I loved how she handled her life and struggles she faced. I enjoyed the book to get a different view of your life and story of the real Maci! You're a great mom and role model! Very inspirational!! Great job Maci!

Wow

Have watched Maci on tv since day 1 and it was nice getting to read her side of things and get to see a side of Maci that doesn't come out in the show. Very inspiring read! Loved it :)

Encouraged

I absolutely loved your book. It's in my top 5 most favorite. Your words are so encouraging. Everything you talked about was so heartfelt. I feel like you put a lot into the book and you did a wonderful job!

Inspirational!

I'm not a person who has really enjoyed reading but having watched teen mom and seen how well Maci has carried herself through all her ups and downs brought me to read her story! She is an amazing person, mother and daughter. I would never consider Jayde "unplanned" she is a blessing and a miracle! Don't let negativity get you down Maci! You're doing a great job!

Eye Opening

Maci is a great mom, Teen Mom & 16 and Pregnant aside. She explains relationships and why they dissolve and what she's done to help others NOT become teen moms! She's got a wonderful way of writing and it was a great relaxing read!

Relatable

I had my daughter at 17, she's now about to turn 14. I have never watched the show. I think Maci really captured what it was like to be a teen mom. How it was so different and difficult but ultimately just makes you stronger in the end. I really enjoyed reading the book and it brought back a lot of memories for me, the good and bad. It also has really good advice in it, especially for teenagers/young adults.

Bulletproof??

Still hasn't even graduated with her associates, owed the IRS $80,000 in taxes and blew through all of her MTV money, and now has a second unplanned pregnancy. Wouldn't call that bulletproof.
