The second instalment in the Rachel Riley series, this time, Rachel's diary details her quest to find THE ONE.
Rachel's life remains frustratingly normal (too normal, she thinks) but luckily for the readers, normal still makes for a lot of hilarious situations. Rachel lives with her insane family, in a house that's full to bursting since Grandpa moved in with his care worker and their offspring, Rachel's uncle Baby Jesus. The dog is still eating everything in sight (edible or not), Rachel's mum is attempting to learn to drive and the neighbour is coming on to Rachel's dad. In the midst of it all, Rachel's desperate to find a boyfriend, but she and her friends all seem very unlucky in love.
Very, very funny, and as with the first book, has lots of crossover appeal, so this is one teens and adults alike will enjoy. Rachel's character is developing, and she's still as lively and fun as ever. This is an easy read, perfect for dipping in and out of, although some of the slightly saucier references make it unsuitable for younger readers. Packed to the brim with wickedly naughty scenarios, there are tons of great observations and modern references to keep you entertained.

Although I loved "My So Called Life" this one is deffo better! I have just finished reading it and I have to say, Rachel gets into more situations including a fake tan disaster, a "suicide attempt" (when she had actually just gone to Suzy and Bob's), a trip to the ballet and a sound of music themed musical named "Over The Hills" which involves rival rock bands.
Rachel clearly still has feelings for Jack which she sends in an evelope, which she presumes to be lost, and then Justin comes calling...?
I can't wait til the next book in the series!
