The diary makes no bones of what it wants to do. The blurb on the cover even describes itself as a "downbeat journal for pessimists, cynics, and losers everywhere," and that you'll "love it."If the above sums up how you're feeling (we hope not), The Perpetual Disappointments Diary might just be perfect for you (again, we really hope not).
