Synopsis

Perfect for fans of Jennifer E. Smith and Huntley Fitzpatrick, Don't Call Me Baby is a sharply observed and charming story about mothers and daughters, best friends and first crushes, and our online selves and the truth you can only see in real life.

All her life, Imogene has been known as the girl on that blog.

Imogene's mother has been writing an incredibly embarrassing, and incredibly popular, blog about her since before she was born. The thing is, Imogene is fifteen now, and her mother is still blogging about her. In gruesome detail. When a mandatory school project compels Imogene to start her own blog, Imogene is reluctant to expose even more of her life online . . . until she realizes that the project is the opportunity she's been waiting for to define herself for the first time.

But when you’ve spent your life as a character in someone else’s story, what happens when you finally pick up the pen?

• Embarrassing Parents: Imogene’s mom isn’t just embarrassing—she’s Mommylicious, a world-famous blogger who thinks ’privacy’ is just a suggestion.
• Online Identity: Forced to start her own blog for a school project, Imogene has one chance to show the world who she really is, not the ’Babylicious’ character her mom created.
• First Crush: Navigating a new crush on Dylan is hard enough without your mom live-tweeting every awkward moment for her thousands of followers.
• Mother Daughter Relationship: A sharp, funny, and heartfelt look at the complicated bond between mothers and daughters in the age of oversharing.
