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 was her first novel. She used to be just like Kelly Ann, but she's all right now.
A funny, touching and heartfelt novel dealing with the angst of growing up and being forced into roles you do not want . . . I appreciated Liz Rettig's anti-heroine Kelly Ann, who adds a touch of acid to the sugar and her take on the world will be much appreciated by girls who don't want to conform to the standard pattern * The Bookseller * Vivid and fun right from page one -- Jill Murphy * The Bookbag * In the mood to rock with laughter, to hoot with glee and shake your head? Buy a copy of My Dating Disasters Diary by Liz Rettig, narrated in first person by the tremendously likeable and flippant tomboy, Kelly Ann * My Favourite Books * At least four girls in the appropriate age-group spotted me reading this book and asked if they could borrow it, so I don't think it would be unpopular * The School Librarian * This series is hilarious! It's funny, clever and is guaranteed to brighten even the worst of days * Wondrous Reads *
