Let's make this birthday one to remember.

55 years old (Born on May 15, 1969)

Happy Birthday, Lauren Myracle! May your day be filled with more laughter than a group chat from "ttyl," and may you celebrate harder than Winnie Perry navigating her teenage years. Your books have taught us that friendship is forever—even if our texting abbreviations change faster than fashion trends.

Here's hoping this year brings even greater success—perhaps another bestseller to join the ranks of "ttfn" on The New York Times list? Keep inspiring readers everywhere; after all, you're proof that growing up can still be hilarious (and awkwardly relatable). Cheers to many more chapters ahead—and remember: ttyl!
