Westhampton resident Maeve Ronan has released her new book to the public titled, “It’s the Awkwardness for Me: 3 Ways to Make Being a Teen Less Awkward.”

According to Ronan, the book is all about what to do when you feel awkward and when awkward moments happen. It is a sequel to a book she wrote earlier this year titled “It’s the Depression for Me: 3 Ways to Make Being a Teenager Suck Less.” The second book officially came out on June 30.

“I know a lot of teens nowadays are having a hard time with anxiety, and social anxiety especially,” said Ronan, who added that her new book has tips on what to do if you embarrass yourself, how to not think about embarrassment for days on end, and how to build up self-esteem and confidence.

“This is what I wish I had known when I was in middle school and high school,” said Ronan, when talking about the inspiration behind “It’s the Awkwardness for Me.”
