Product Description

Product Description
Kelly Ann is fifteen and desperately in love with G - the biggest idiot in school. Her best friends Liz and Stephanie can see how awful G is - and also that Kelly Ann's quietly gorgeous friend Chris is madly in love with her. But Kelly Ann stumbles along blindly, unable to see what's right in front of her eyes. Navigating her way through teenage embarrassments, sick-filled parties, awful love poetry and green condoms, Kelly Ann is a hilariously endearing character and one every female reader, whatever age, will be able to relate to.

About the Author
Liz Rettig is over twenty-one and lives in Glasgow with her husband and two children. She works as a teacher and MY DESPERATE LOVE DIARY is her first novel. She used to be just like Kelly Ann, but she's all right now.

5.0 out of 5 stars brilliant, 7 Aug 2005
By Brian O'rourke "book*lover" (Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've read so many books like this over the last few years but this book is one that is good enough to be read over and over again. The storyline is so true and happens to every girl sometime in their teens. The book is about a girl, Kelly Ann, who has a massive crush on the class hottie but she is the only one who can't see what a jerk he is and how he only gets with girls to sleep with them. Everyone who knows her knows she likes him. The person most affected is her guy-friend Chris who really likes her and the book is about her relationship with the two guys. Not as guessable as others with a brilliant end. And some very moments in between!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!, 17 Sep 2006
Once i started reading it i couldnt put it down! Liz rettig is an amazing writer who has written this book to really relate to any 15/16 year old girls! The only problem now is that whenever i try to read anything else, nothing measures up to it so this book is a must-read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Like Teenage Bridget Jones, 4 Jan 2006
By Hannah Whiteley "Hannah" (Reading, England) - See all my reviews
This book is AMAZING!
I bought it to go on holiday with and when I first started reading it it kinda annoyed me. So i tried again and started to find it hilarious!
Kelly Ann goes through every little thing that a 15/16 year old worries about, I could really relate to her. It was like bridget jones for kids!!!
