More About the Author
Product Description
Book Description
A stonkingly funny teenage diary featuring the one-and-only mishap-magnet that is Kelly Ann!
Product Description
Kelly Ann is all loved-up with her gorgeous soulmate, Chris, so there's no way she's going to let her attraction for the dark and dangerous new boy at school go any further. OK, so he rides a cool Harley Davidson motorbike, plays in a cool band and has dedicated a song to her. But she's not going to let that rock her relationship with Chris, is she?
Besides, Kelly Ann has other things to worry about. Like being dragged through the mud by a rogue Great Dane, locked out of the house by an eight year old she's supposed to be babysitting and that YouTube video that shows her grappling with a half-naked guy in Pizza Express - 200,000 hits and counting in just twelve hours...

Format:Paperback
In many ways, disaster-prone diarist Kelly Ann is like a teen version of Bridget Jones. She's funny, flighty, and incredibly easy to relate to. She makes bad decisions sometimes, and falls (literally) flat on her face sometimes, but most importantly she follows her heart. Of course, this time around she's not exactly sure what her heart wants: Chris, who loves her but is safe and predictable, or rebellious Matt, who she knows very little about... except that she can't stop thinking about him. Her friends think she's crazy for even contemplating risking what she has with Chris, but it soon becomes clear to the reader that a catastrophe of some kind is invevitable - and we wouldn't have it any other way. Because whether she's accidentally sitting on her employer's toy pedigree dog or finding her most embarrassing moment going viral on YouTube, Kelly Ann's catastrophes are invariably of the side-splitting variety.
While I picked up My Rocky Romance Diary expecting a light-hearted escapist read, in some ways Kelly-Ann and her friends are among the most believable British teens you'll find in the pages of a YA novel. Their antics are hilarious and often cringe-worthy, but they're also ordinary. They go to the local pub and get drunk and dance on the table... and then spend the entire next day nursing a hangover. Kelly Ann herself has a love-hate relationship with her parents, who embarrass her one minute, insult her the next, but occasionally do something that makes her realise they're not that bad after all. Even the love dilemma at the heart of this story is one that will strike a chord with anyone who has been in a 'serious' relationship: while many YA heroines seem intent on finding 'the one', Kelly Ann is a girl who has already found him... but can't help worrying that she's missing out on the fun she should be having.
My Rocky Romance Diary is rambunctious, girly, and laugh-out-loud funny. The Glasgow setting makes a refreshing change, and I think readers from all over the world will appreciate Kelly Ann's unique approach to life. This is one for readers who like their YA ChickLit with a healthy helping of humour.

Format:Kindle Edition
Kelly Ann's diaries are basically a better written version of Georgia Nicolson (Angus, Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging). Kelly Ann and her friends are easier to relate to and the book has a much better plot. We get to know Kelly Ann very well, and we see her grow from the scrawny, tomboyish girl into the sophisticated and occasionally quite slutty (!) woman. She deals with these boy troubles all the time, what with Chris, Matty, and all the boys from the previous books, like Alan. Her friends are also relatively easy to relate too.
The reason why I would choose this over Georgia Nicolson is that the latter tends to stray away from the plot and introduces too many characters, so we don't get to know many of them. Its also not very realistic...
I highly recommend Kelly Ann's Diaries, but you should definately read them in order:
My Dating Disasters Diary
My Desperate Love Diary
My Now or Never Diary

This is the fourth book in the Kelly Ann series, and it's still as funny as the first!
Once I started it I couldn't put it down. I just had to find out what would happen next!
It's really funny, not in an over-the-top way like some teenage books tend to be.
In my opinion, this is the best teenage series!
