This sequel to Not Dressed Like That, You Don't sees an older (and somewhat wiser) Jenny and her mother diarising their various traumas. In Jenny's case, these are the looming threat of GCSEs and friends' problems; in her mother's, a late pregnancy after a romantic trip to Paris. All the required ingredients are here - humour, accessible yet thoughtful writing and unerring relevance to the modern teenager. The tone never patronises, it simply explores and empathises in a highly entertaining way. Buy at least two copies for the bookshelf. This will be very popular.
