A review by heykellyjensen
Phoebe's Diary by Phoebe Wahl

For readers looking for a slightly more mature book to scratch the itch of coming of age, romance, and humor a la Louise Rennison's Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging, this is it. Phoebe is a fat, Jewish girl coming of age outside Seattle and learning who she is, who she loves, and what romance may or may not mean to her. This is a book about first-time sex and desire, about the confusing feelings before and after The Moment, as well as a book about friendship, theater, and being comfortable in your own skin.
