The third contender is Karim, Rae’s mum’s boyfriend played by Bamshad Abedi-Amin. In series one, Rae’s mum is helping to hide Karim from the immigration authorities, and Rae is understandably sceptical about his intentions. Over time, though, Karim (who I originally thought was nothing more than a humorous side-strand) really grows into an interesting and engaging character. When Earl was a teenager in the eighties, she didn’t have access to the mental health support that’s around today. If she had, she tells me, “I think I could have been happier and, I hate to say it, more successful in life generally, because a lot of my coping mechanisms weren’t always very healthy, they were necessary, but not healthy.” I understand that this is a real life diary, so I wasn't expecting a miraculous and complex plot. But that aside, the plot was next to nothing but the main character, Rae, pining over boys and constantly putting down her overweight body. There was little character development and no real closure or ending to the book.

Sabes ese momento en el cual lees no un libro cualquiera, sino EL libro. TU libro. Así me he sentido leyendo My Mad, Fat Diary. Simplemente no tengo palabras para describir todo lo identificada que me he sentido. To my surprise, a lot of situations, anecdotes, characters and even dialogue were, if not exactly the same, then obviously based on Earl's real experiences. I come from Stamford in Lincolnshire. It’s where a lot of TV and films are shot because it hasn’t changed much in 500 years. My childhood was like most people’s – a mixture of lovely and very odd. Lovely because I spent a lot of time with good friends, music and tadpoles. Odd because I spent a lot of time worrying about everything – like war, murderers and poisonous mushrooms (don’t ask). I was a bit weird. Like we all are.Rachel Earl (born 13 December 1971) is an English writer and broadcaster.

Do you get letters from angst-ridden teens, young people who are unhappy with themselves or undergoing mental health issues? Sophie Stanton as Principal Dixon (series 2–3), Rae’s firm but fair headteacher at college who gives her several ‘second chances’ and encourages her to go to Bristol University. Rae is often teased and ridiculed by her peers, strangers, and even her own mother. Her friends even take jabs at her. I honestly felt bad for her, reading these experiences. She powered through, strong as an ox, though, where many of us would’ve probably have given up. Full of teenage logic, bad poetry and 80s nostalgia, Rae's frank and hilarious trip down memory lane stands out from the current surge of memoirs' ( The London Paper)The two also share another similarity: both suffer from anxiety. “I did want to discuss anxiety as a thing for a younger audience, and how it makes you feel, because if I’d been caught at Millie’s age and I’d been able to talk about it at her age, I don’t think my problems would have been half as bad when I was older.” Thirteen was “before things started to go really wrong for me in the head, as it were, before I started to be really unwell.”
