About this ebook
**My Mad Fat Diary is now a hit comedy series on E4.**
It's 1989 and Rae is a fat, boy-mad 17-year-old girl, living in Stamford, Lincolnshire with her mum and their deaf white cat in a council house with a mint off-green bath suite and a larder Rae can't keep away from. This is the hilarious and touching real-life diary she kept during that fateful year - with characters like her evil friend Bethany, Bethany's besotted boyfriend, and the boys from the grammar school up the road (who have code names like Haddock and Battered Sausage).
My Mad Fat Diary evokes a vanished time when Charles and Di are still together, the Berlin wall is up, Kylie is expected to disappear from the charts at any moment and it's £1 for a Snakebite and Black in the Vaults pub. My Mad Fat Diary will appeal to anyone who's lived through the 1980s. But it will also strike a chord with anyone who's ever been a confused, lonely teenager who clashes with their mother, takes themselves VERY seriously and has no idea how hilarious they are.

I did find myself rushing at parts that weren't very interesting and did get tired of the constant moaning, but I'm a suckered for comming of age stories. You'll like it if you're into books like Angus things and full frontal snogging, but otherwise stay away

Its entertaining to begin with, but after a while your screaming 'well blummin get on with it, stop moaning, and go on a diet' lots of insights to 80's music, but not my cup of tea. And normally i love reading diary style books

Good read, absolutely hilarious Gutted that I had 70 odd pages, whereas advertised it says over 350. Not worth the money for what I got!
