Phoebe's Diary by Phoebe Wahl (2023), 464 pages
If
you read my previous post about Little Witch Hazel, you know that Phoebe Wahl
is a favorite artist of mine. This is her somewhat true, somewhat fictionalized
teenage diary. Wahl very much captures teenage angst and coming of age. It
reminds me a lot of the risqué Judy Blume books we all read too young and hoped
that our parents didn't know what was actually in them. Do people still read
Judy Blume? I am aging myself, but I am not sure what the current equivalent
would be. I suspect a lot of teenage girls would relate to this novel. If you are
a parent to teenagers, you might want to wait until they are adults before
diving in.
