If you loved Gilmore Girls & One Tree Hill, you’ll devour this series.
This contemporary coming-of-age YA series follows a musically-talented, shy and insecure Annie Mackey as she navigates just about every tough situation a teenager can face.
The series spans four years, across high school and the start of college, where Annie discovers her confidence, purpose and the truth about everything.
These two stories are linked, but they stand strong on their own. They can be read and enjoyed in any order, though I do recommend starting with Yeah, maybe.
About Yeah, maybe
If you’ve ever felt like you were too much for some people and not enough for others… this book will feel like coming home.
Yeah, maybe by Joey Hodges is for the ones quietly unraveling and rebuilding themselves at the same time. It’s a story about figuring out who you are outside of who you’ve been expected to be — about messy growth, first love, emotional weight, and the quiet ache of trying to belong.
It follows a girl who has spent her whole life trying to shrink herself to survive — and what happens when someone sees her, really sees her, for the first time.
Annie is doing her best to hold it together while everything inside her is shifting—and maybe, just maybe, you’ll see yourself in her.
This isn’t your average love story.
It’s a story of learning to love yourself, complicated friendships and falling in love for the first time…
This is for the readers who crave comfort, catharsis, and characters who feel like real people.
It’s for the journalers, the deep feelers, and the women who grew up too fast.
It’s for anyone who’s ever whispered “Is it okay to be like this?” and hoped the answer was yes.
BOOK BLURB
For quiet, reserved, and focused 15 year old Annie Mackey, school was a sanctuary. But when her bubbly and beautiful neighborhood best friend joins her at Willow Point High for freshmen year, her world is turned upside down.
Everything Annie could count on for stability is shattered, and she’s left feeling more alone than ever before.
Just when she’s about to lose all hope, someone unexpected swoops in and gives her a much needed lesson in perspective.

About Not so much
If Yeah, maybe felt like a quiet unraveling… Not so much is what happens when the dust settles and you’re left staring at what’s real.
Not so much by Joey Hodges is for the woman who’s done pretending everything’s fine. It’s for the girl who got back up—but now isn’t sure where to go.
This is a story about letting go of old versions of yourself, navigating relationships that don’t fit anymore, and learning that sometimes healing isn’t about moving on—it’s about sitting still and finally seeing yourself clearly.
If you’ve ever asked:
- Why do I feel so alone even when I’m surrounded?
- What if I don’t want the life I thought I wanted?
- Is it okay to change my mind—about everything?
…this book might just be what you need next.
For lovers of emotional depth, introspection, and stories that feel like someone finally put your feelings into words.
You don’t have to have it all figured out.
You just have to be honest enough to begin again.
BOOK BLURB
THEN:
Annie’s life was perfect. Her best friend became her step-sister. She was on track to head to her dream school after graduation. And she got to do her favorite thing: collaborate musically with her dreamy boyfriend. So how did things go so, so wrong?
NOW:
Alone at a college far from the Willow Point bubble, Annie has a few rules in place. Number one: Do not, under any circumstances, cyberstalk her internet-famous ex-boyfriend. Number two: pretend that everything is totally and completely fine.
Persuaded out of her isolation by the persistence of her icy roommate, Annie finds herself working in a bar that is just as damaged as she is.
Just when Annie thinks things can’t get any worse, someone unexpected shows up on her doorstep with secrets of their own.
