This was donated at my World Book Night 2013 celebration and I was interested to read it before sending it travelling. I'd previously read Dawn French's autobiography and I think her writing was actually better in this first novel. The plot is a little fanciful in parts but it held my attention and the dynamic between parents and teenagers was both amusing and interesting. I loved hearing the well-defined voices of the different characters. I fear my own teenage diary entries were almost as floral as Oscar's!

All in all, great fun, with some lovely, poignant moments too.

On the inside bench facing the entrance. Enjoy!
