Dear Nobody: The True Diary of Mary Rose

329 pp. | Sourcebooks/Fire | April, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4022-8758-9 $15.99
(4) YA Edited by Gillian McCain and Legs McNeil. An actual, posthumously published diary (plus occasional letters and drawings) chronicles a troubled teen's experiments with sex, drugs, and alcohol in the late 1990s; her conflicted relationship with her single mother; and her eventual decline and death from cystic fibrosis. A series of impressions rather than a narrative with meaning and shape, the book's rawness and angst will nevertheless resonate with many teens.
Reviewer: Norah Piehl
