On February 21, 2013, Once Upon a Twilight shared our thoughts of Maya's Notebook with a review. The review was given 4 trees and deemed a Great Story. Here is a piece of the review, to read in its full entirety CLICK HERE. 

"The heart of this book is a coming of age story for a girl, Maya, writing her notebook at the age of only nineteen. Surprisingly she has so many things to say and so many events that have changed her life. Maya is what I would consider an “old soul” probably due to being raised by her grandparents and partly due to the environment in Berkeley, CA in the mid-70’s that greatly influenced her Grandmother “Nini” when she arrived there during that time, very young with a young son."

"This story proves the old saying, “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” in a way that tugs at your heart. This is not the kind of book that I would normally enjoy or seek out to read but I am very glad that I had the opportunity!"
