Her archenemy is the prettiest and meanest girl in school, Ruby aka Miss Gorgeous Knickers. Dimple is UBER gorgeous.

The scene I found most amusing is when Hattie has a crush on this guy she nicknames "McFittie". After much conferring with the girls as to how to attract him she decides to go with Jen's idea of "eating sexily" in front of him, but the Biscotti she's eating goes down the wrong way and she ends up chocking and spitting it out all over the place! There's Hattie's totally 'mental' nan, her 'evil' brother, and of course her mum and her dad, but the one I think deserves a special mention is Goose "the guy next door".

He has a crush on Hattie, but she's completely oblivious to the the way he feels. He was so cute, I just wanted to hug him! There are references to Primark, Jeremy Kyle, Harry Potter, Eastenders and phrases like 'you doughnut', 'is a total mental', and 'chav' are thrown in too. It just made Hattie all the more relatable when she mentioned things like Facebook, x-factor, and Zumba.

If there is I'll be over the moon, but if not I'll still be happy as this is a book I know I'll be re-reading! Earl is also the author of 'My Mad Fat Diary' a book based on her life that has been turned into a TV show and is currently airing on E4. This review also appears on my blog, The Page Turner.

Entertaining and enjoyable; a relaxing, easy read. Jan 14, Jenni rated it liked it Shelves: She has the difficult situation of not knowing who he is yet having a stepfather who has been in her life for almost all of it and who she loves dearly. Hattie is a lively character, throughout the book I found at times I laughed with her, at times I wanted to give her a hug and at times I wanted to shake her!

Her two friends, Weird Jen and Dimple are highly entertaining, the three of them together make for a great trio. The real strength of the book for me was in some of the supporting characters. By the end of it I enjoyed this book and was satisfied by the ending. There were a few surprises scattered throughout the book which were pleasing to discover.

I think this book will be really popular with its intended audience. Dec 15, Beth Kemp rated it really liked it Shelves: Hilarious diary novel perfect for tweens and younger teens Boys, friendships, family stuff - all the drama of the early teen years is here in Hattie's diary. I enjoyed this and found myself snorting and laughing out loud more than once much to the surprise of some nice bus passengers It's worth noting that the author is also the writer of TV's 'My Mad Fat Diary', but this is pitched much younger than the series.

Hattie is a typical 14 year old with normal 14 year old worries. She's trying t Hilarious diary novel perfect for tweens and younger teens Boys, friendships, family stuff - all the drama of the early teen years is here in Hattie's diary. She's trying to figure out who she is and where she fits in and for Hattie, this poses a particular difficulty. She's never known her father and sets out to do some detective work and figure out what's in her genes. That is, if she can fit it in around trying to date and generally navigate the social minefield that is being This diary-style novel tracks a whole year of Hattie's life and I greatly enjoyed getting to know her, her friends and her family.

Her writing style is hyperbolic, full of capitals and dramatic statements but she is over-the-top in an endearing and naive way. I grew quite fond of her, and I defy anyone to read this and not be charmed by her. Characterisation is definitely a strength here, which is no mean feat considering it's entirely presented as a diary so it's heavily filtered through the lens of Hattie's point of view. It takes real skill to present a whole novel this way and to maintain interest, and Rae Earl makes it look easy.

I loved Hattie's Gran in particular - she was definitely responsible for some of my embarrassing public laughter. The plot, with its various strands of family detection, romantic endeavours, social hierarchies and getting through school, is bright and breezy and zips along nicely. Hattie does deal with real-world problems but it's all very light and frothy and non-threatening, with a hearty dose of humour.

My 14 yr old was certainly drawn to it. Dec 12, Michelle Much Loved Books rated it liked it. Is This Actually My Life what caught my attention immediately was the way it has been written. I knew going into it that this book was diary entries I just didn't know what to expect.

The entries follow each other, with no chapter breaks, and each entry is defined either by the date or the time of the entry. All entries are written by Hattie about everything that can run through a teenagers mind, not knowing who her father is, th Original review can be found at Much Loved Books When I opened OMG! All entries are written by Hattie about everything that can run through a teenagers mind, not knowing who her father is, the HOT server in Berties, how small her boobs are, the list is endless.

Admittedly this book is aimed at younger readers, a lot younger than myself, and while I wouldn't have picked this up from a shop for myself to read, I did find that it was perfect for a quick read and is a refreshing change to books I have been reading lately. I managed to get through OMG! Is This Actually My Life quickly. Hattie is an hilarious protagonist that won't fail to make you laugh, I even found myself laughing at her entries a lot through the pages.

She goes through real life issues that I am sure we all went though at some point during our younger years and if I was younger I would easily be able to relate to what she writes. Is This Actually My Life would be a good addition to any teenagers bookshelf. Feb 23, Michelle Moloney King rated it it was amazing.

And Hattie isn't that upset about her friends beauty, really, she's not. It's just a shame that her life has the drama and unwanted attention from the most popular girl in school. We get to know her as MGK and she is a royal pain.

The main conflict in this book is Hattie's search for her real dad. Her gran and Goose and her BFFare there to have fun and offer advice on her search.
