Praise for My Dating Disasters Diary

A funny, touching and heartfelt novel dealing with the angst of growing up and being forced into roles you do not want . . . I appreciated Liz Rettig's anti-heroine Kelly Ann, who adds a touch of acid to the sugar and her take on the world will be much appreciated by girls who don't want to conform to the standard pattern

The Bookseller

Vivid and fun right from page one

Jill Murphy, The Bookbag

In the mood to rock with laughter, to hoot with glee and shake your head? Buy a copy of My Dating Disasters Diary by Liz Rettig, narrated in first person by the tremendously likeable and flippant tomboy, Kelly Ann

My Favourite Books

At least four girls in the appropriate age-group spotted me reading this book and asked if they could borrow it, so I don't think it would be unpopular

The School Librarian

This series is hilarious! It's funny, clever and is guaranteed to brighten even the worst of days
