Murder on the Orient Express and The Summer I Turned Pretty are two recent ones. She likes a good murder mystery so some of the YA ones like One of Us is Lying.


But let me add, last night she quickly kicked me out because I was “breathing wrong”. Ah, the joys of teenagers!!

Literally lying outside my daughter's room as I am typing this. Trying to wean her. She sounds very similar to your child. And it worked, I just checked and she is sleeping!

My dd was like this until about age 14. Now she won’t text me back. You will be fine.

I don’t know if you have a pet, but maybe one solution is that the pet sleeps in her room on her bed. If you don’t have a pet, get one! It’s a joy to have an animal as a member of the family.

OMG this sounds incredibly normal, healthy, and sweet. You are not enabling anything, unless you and she both can't take a night off to do what you need to do. Enjoy and bond during this precious time and don't overthink it!
