Pretty Girls Cry in Bathrooms Too

pretty girls cry in bathrooms too. They cry over boys, over friendships, over family, and over things they can't always explain. They cry in bathroom stalls between classes, in the backseat of cars, underneath blankets at three in the morning, and sometimes for no reason at all. But then they wipe their eyes, fix their makeup, take a breath, and walk back out. Pretty Girls Cry in Bathrooms Too is a collection of poems about the messy, beautiful, confusing experience of being a teenage girl. It's about insecurity and confidence, first crushes and first heartbreaks, friendships that end without goodbyes, family, loneliness, growing pains, and learning that becoming yourself doesn't happen all at once. For the girl who feels everything, for the girl who thinks she's the only one, for the girl who doesn't know what's wrong, and for the girl who is still figuring it out—this book is for you. Because you can be hurting and still be beautiful. You can be lost and still be growing. And you can cry and still walk back out.
