It’s hilarious, unexpectedly dark … has a very classic YA feel”“A rare gem … a first-class book” * Telegraph, 5 stars *“The diary format is an ideal way for Cheung to allow us intimate access to Jo’s life and allows the inclusion of her doodle illustrations, which add verve and character” * BookTrust *
