...Armstrong gave birth to her first child, a daughter named Leta, and she used her blog to chronicle her pregnancy, postpartum depression, and all the little things that no one bothers to tell new mothers until it's too late. It Sucked and Then I Cried is a memoir of the first nine months of her daughter's life, Armstrong's first nine months as a mother, and the mental breakdown she had because of it.

...years, you wrote and edited for Seventeen magazine. How has your relationship to young women shaped this memoir? Being a teenage girl is one of the most profound times in a female's life. And I think in some ways it is a more transformational time than male puberty. That's why I love the Twilight series. It's all about a girl discovering her immense power of a being a woman.
