In the series debut novel, Twin Diaries, Megan feels the need to pull away from her twin sister, Jenny, with whom she still shares a room, and develop her own identity. When Jenny showed up at school in the same outfit as Megan, Megan told Jenny to grow up. The twins eventually forget about fighting to be different. Megan was the more outgoing twin and fun-loving and Jenny often felt inferior to her. Jenny was the opinionated headstrong girl who consistently voices her opinions. She was also known for being responsible and mature, yet uptight, much to Megan's annoyance. Erin was the boy-crazy girl who was trying to break out of her twinness with Jenny.

Megan ended up starting a relationship with Jack, but he had a crush on Jenny over her scheming and being spoiled. After Megan breaks up with Jack, she started a relationship with basketball player Nick Huntington, whom Jenny and Jack started a conflict with. Jack's conflict with Nick was because of his attitude, Jenny's conflict was because she felt like she wanted to protect Megan from him. But she ended her conflict with Nick because she realizes that Megan can take care of herself and that Nick wasn't a bad person, in fact, he had cancer. Jack was still a jerk towards Megan and Nick, which made Jenny realizes that Jack wasn't the guy she thought he'd be. During this arc, Megan and Jenny made plans to see their favorite girl group, Slumber Party Girls for their concert in Leawood, but the twins were hospitalized for tonsillitis.

When she revealed the truth, Megan gets upset with her sister and refuses to talk to her. On top of all that, the twins' father, Nathan revealed that he doesn't approve of Paul. Despite what her father thought, Jenny began a relationship with him and Megan told her twin that she's happy for her and Paul and she'll deal with her and Paul dating.
