Synopsis: Go Ask Alice was a hoax. But Dear Nobody is a true teen diary so raw and so edgy its authenticity rings off every page
"I am a freak."
The words and drawings of Mary Rose present a gritty, powerful, no-holds-barred true experience of a teen girl so desperate to be loved, so eager to fit in that she'll go to extremes that could cost her her life.
This is not a story about addiction. Or sexual promiscuity. Or cystic fibrosis. It's the story of a young woman with a powerful will to live, who more than anything wants to be heard...and loved.
This compelling, emotional account ensures her voice will not be forgotten.

For the next four Thursdays (including this one) on Loving the Language of Literacy, you will be seeing posts about this wonderful book. Dear Nobody: The True Diary of Mary Rose edited by Gillian McCain and Legs McNeil. I remember reading the synopsis for the first time sad then praying to the Netgalley Gods that my request would be accepted. A few weeks later, here it am, part of the Dear Nobody Street Team. My review of this book is coming next week, and let me tell you, this book is a freaking roller coaster.
