The news felt like a physical jolt. Her diary. Out there. For everyone to see. Clara took a deep breath. She glanced at the pile of fresh notebooks she’d bought last week, the blank pages waiting to be filled. She’d been feeling creatively stuck for months. She felt her hands begin to shake.

She started typing a response, a blog post of her own. A new beginning, maybe. A chance to share her current life with the world. A way to connect with the people who had read her most embarrassing, teenage secrets. She felt a rush of adrenaline.
