Gotta Be Kidding by P. Marie is a fun, heartfelt, and empowering coming-of-age story that dives into the challenges of friendship, family, and finding your own voice. When middle schooler Mya’s perfectly planned life takes a turn for the unexpected, she’s forced to juggle mean-girl drama, changing friendships, and the pressures of growing up—all while trying to stay true to herself.
Through laughter, lessons, and a few cringe-worthy moments, Mya learns that life doesn’t always go according to plan—but that’s what makes it interesting. With humor and heart, P. Marie captures the ups and downs of being a tween in today’s world, reminding young readers that it’s okay to make mistakes, stand up for what’s right, and be unapologetically you.
Perfect for fans of relatable, character-driven stories, Gotta Be Kidding celebrates resilience, friendship, and the power of believing in yourself even when life throws you curveballs.
