I adore books like this. Illustrative and colourful, displaying mixed medias and a whole load of personality.
This is a journal of the author/artist's teenage years, covering topics like family, boys, friendships and her love of otters. There isn't a central story or narrative to follow, we just get glimpses into Isobel's mind as she muses over her life. For me this approach added another element of... I don't know... 'teenager'.

Video review coming soon
I had a smile on my face the entire time that I read this. It was absolutely endearing and easy to relate to and I loved it!
Isobel is an 18 year old girl that loves 90s girl bands and otters. Her journal is full of pop culture references that are perfect for what she is trying to say.
