So I did something else.
Under the printed chapter one, in that same purple pen, Mackenzie had written notes in the margins. Little critiques. Next to the part where Nikki spills spaghetti on her new jeans, Mackenzie had scribbled: “Clumsy much? Try better posture. - M.H.” Next to the part about Brandon, she’d written: “Boys are a distraction. Focus on your mirror.” dork diaries used books
And underneath, in pencil, so faint I almost missed it: So I did something else
I stuck the note on the inside cover, right over her purple gel pen name. in that same purple pen
Then I saw the writing.
