An empowering collection written by Jenna Ortega, the award-winning actress starring in the hit Netflix series WEDNESDAY.

This collection from actress Jenna Ortega is filled with her own original quotes and affirmations that will inspire you to lean into faith and love and family during life's most difficult, and most joyous, moments.
Jenna has had to balance her acting career, her private life, and public expectations from a young age, and she’s learned that the only way to get through it all is to wake up every morning and affirm her commitment to herself, her faith, her mental health, and her family. In this honest and moving debut, she shares openly and intimately what it means to live this life of self-appreciation.
Jenna's vulnerability in her writing will remind readers that there’s power within us all and we are not alone in our struggles.
OVERTHINKING
Since his adventure in Grunsby-on-Sea, Steven Percival has been thriving. He's kept his powers under control, come out of the closet, and been with his handsome American boyfriend, Troy, almost every day this summer. He can't wait to start uni in London with his best friend, Freya, especially as Troy is going to a different university just a quick train ride away.
But Grunsby won't let him go. Around every corner, he's convinced that he's seeing Zachary, the evil emomancer who tried to leech his powers away. Steven also suspects Alice, a girl on his course, of being an emomancer, but the truth is even more surprising when it comes out: she can read and implant thoughts in people's minds, and has been causing a rift between Steven and his friends.
Steven, Freya, and Troy turn to DEMA for help, but even the secret organisation may not be safe anymore. Steven was right: Zachary has been keeping a close eye on the three friends, and from deep inside the organisation too...

Things were very different, I guess, but that’s all over now.
Now there’s Solitaire. And Michael Holden.
I don’t know what Solitaire are trying to do, and I don’t care about Michael Holden.
I really don’t.
