YA
Amusingly self-centered sixteen-year-old Janet describes her family and friends, including best friend Disha, with whom she embarks on a "Dark Phase" (so they can "get in touch with the deepest levels of human angst"), and her pagan-lesbian-feminist-vegan aunt Sappho. Fans of Louise Rennison's Bridget Jones--like novels may enjoy this lightweight comedy in diary form.
