Told You So

From TikTok and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Mayci Neeley, a deeply personal story of love, grief, motherhood, and resilience.

Mayci Neeley and the women of MomTok burst into the center of pop culture when Hulu’s The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives took the world by storm. But the show barely scratched the surface of Mayci’s personal story. From becoming a mom at twenty, to losing her son’s father in a tragic car accident, to going back to college as a single mother, she’s only ever given us glimpses of the challenging things she’s been through. Now, finally, she’s ready to tell us everything.

In this inspiring and darkly funny memoir, Mayci lifts the veil for listeners on what growing up Mormon is really like and how its strict standards completely blow up for many young people when they get to college. When Mayci arrived at BYU on a tennis scholarship, she was unprepared to manage the temptations she’d been taught were sins. She found herself drinking too much, stuck in an abusive relationship, and on the verge of falling down a dark and dangerous path. Suddenly, she was pregnant at nineteen and mourning a boyfriend she’d been building a future with. Mayci captures the period from college to adulthood with brutal honesty, grace, and humor, offering up a heartfelt portrait of a woman finding her voice and her strength.

All of these trials led to her current love story, her journey with IVF, and of course the inside story of MomTok. Fans looking for a juicy play-by-play on the friend group drama will get everything they want—and then some—but more than anything, listeners will walk away with a sense of confidence in themselves and an ability to wear their scars proudly.

Amazing

It was amazing. I knew it would be. Love Mayci from the show but hearing this and knowing what she went through I could relate. I was abused in a past relationship and still get ptsd from it. Reading her story lets you know how you are not alone. Mayci is soooo strong a force. Wish her all the best.

compelling story

It took about 5 or 6 chapters to get used to the writing and tone of the narration. However, it was a compelling story. I listened to it all in one day. Believe me, the beginning is rough, but if you are a fan of hers, keep listening. You can tell as a writer and a young woman, she actually matures throughout the book.
