In the spirit of fairness, I’m going to start by saying this: at the doddering age of twenty five, I am ten years too old for this book. I have crested the metaphorical hill and regrettably now view the lands of adolescence from a height, trying to remember what it was like to agonise over school and boys and wondering when I got a mortgage and reading glasses. This book was never really intended for me, so on the occasions where I felt myself rolling my eyes at the main character I choose to believe that these are shining examples of realism. After all, I certainly cringe at enough of my own teenage memories.
