So funny and I love the little tidbits that add more to the show. Erin’s version of stories, with all of her teenage angst and overconfidence as an ~artist~, are a delight. Lisa McGee is so talented with her humor and it makes me love Derry Girls even more. Cant wait for season 3!!

I am so glad I know what happened with David Donnelly now.. I kept wondering why he didn’t make an appearance in season 2. I absolutely loved this tie-in. Lisa McGee is clever.

As a big fan of the brilliant Derry Girls show I was dead keen to check out this fictionalised diary. It's about what you'd expect from this sort of tie in book content wise but really well done. Mostly framed around the episodes from series 1 and 2 it presents more of Erin's perspective on events and is replete with doodles, newspaper cut outs, letters, and of course a full page Dolly Parton poster. The ink smudges and fingerprints are a nice touch too and it's consistently humourous throughout.

There's nothing groundbreaking here but it is an enjoyable read and the physical book is a nice item. I am intrigued about how the audiobook version works considering there's so much visual stuff going on in the book.

A must read for those who need answers to the mystery of the big bowl...

This was a really fun book. It honestly kind of read like fanfiction but whatever, it was still super fun to read. It was interesting/nice to see what the characters were up to between the episodes! I also liked the little extras we got like Clare's article on being lesbian and Erin's letter to James (which was so adorable!)

I'm really hyped for season 3!! I can't wait until it comes out.
