My Mad Fat Diary

De: Rae Earl

Narrado por: Abigail Hardiman

It's 1989, and Rae Earl 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 green bathroom and a refrigerator Rae can't keep away from. She's also just been released from a psychiatric ward. My Mad Fat Diary is the hilarious, harrowing, and touching real-life diary Rae kept during that fateful year and the basis of the hit British television series of the same name now coming to HULU.

Surrounded by people like her constantly dieting mum; her beautiful frenemy, Bethany; her mates from the private school up the road (called "Haddock", "Battered Sausage" and "Fig"); and the handsome, unattainable boys Rae pines after (who sometimes end up with Bethany...), My Mad Fat Diary is the story of an overweight young woman just hoping to be loved at a time when slim pop singers ruled the charts. Rae's chronicle of her world will strike a chord with anyone who's ever been a confused, lonely teenager clashing with her parents, sometimes overeating, hating her body, always taking herself VERY seriously, never knowing how positively brilliant she is, and keeping a diary to record it all. My Mad Fat Diary - 365 days with one of the wisest and funniest girls in England.

I loved this book!!!

I wish the next in the series would be released in the United States! I would buy it in a heartbeat!!!

Everyone should read these books and watch the tv series made from these books.

Rea Earl is a genius for getting her diaries published and it was such a brave thing to do!!!

I love the book and its narrator!

Felt unfinished and pointless but it's really fun to listen to just like gossip.

Pretty funny

This book is pretty funny, although some of the British slang is difficult to understand. You do tend to catch on to it eventually. I wish the follow-up book was available on Audible, but I bought the paperback copy and started reading it as soon as it arrived to continue following Rae's diary.

A book made for Audible

Great book for listening to, the grammar and story are simple enough to follow along as you drive/bike/eat, and I’m a sucker for coming-of-age stories that actually tell the truth about what it’s like being a horny teenage girl. Exceptional autobiography!

Relatable and Real

I loved this book! I loved this book so much that after listening to it, I went and purchased a paper copy. The story is real and therefore incredibly relatable. It felt like a story about my group of friends at that age. I greatly enjoyed not only Rae Earl's writing style, but also the vocalization of the story by Abigail Hardiman. 10/10!
