Rooney’s performance in My Mad Fat Diary is nothing short of a revelation. If you like one-liner put-downs, self-deprecating humour and/or ridiculous facial expressions, you’ll love the character of Rae Earl. I’m confident that, if you’re a lover of great comedy, she’ll make you laugh a few times in the pilot episode alone. And it only gets better from there onwards. It's 1989 and Rae Earl is a fat, boy-mad 17-year-old girl, living in Stamford, Lincolnshire with her mum and their deaf white cat in a council house with a mint green bathroom and a refrigerator Rae can't keep away from.Virgin Money Giving Mind Media Awards 2016 Winners".

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. Rachel Earl (born 13 December 1971) is an English writer and broadcaster. She is best known as the author of the 2007 book My Fat, Mad Teenage Diary, a collection of the diaries she wrote as a teenager which was later adapted into the E4 comedy-drama series My Mad Fat Diary (2013–2015)Al comienzo se me hizo una lectura bastante pesada, no podía conectar con la historia ni con Rae, a pesar de que empatizaba totalmente con ella. Además las entradas son, en su mayoría, cortas, y yo soy más predilecta a los capítulos largos. Pero, en la mitad del libro, me empezó a interesar más la trama con la aparición de un nuevo interés romántico. Does Earl find a sort of instant intimacy from readers who get in touch with her because of the personal nature of her books? “Yes, because it’s always about identification. I think if you’ve have that sort of miserable adolescence, you are really looking, probably all your life, for somebody to say ‘I felt that way too!’ because we see everybody having a great time at proms and things and for a lot of us, it’s just not like that.” 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. Sophie Wright as Tix (series 1, 3), a resident of the psychiatric hospital and Rae's other best friend. In the series 2 opener, it is revealed that she had died due to over-exercising and refusing to eat at the end of the previous series. She makes a cameo appearance in the final episode of series 3 as Rae reflects on her teenage years and when Rae sees everyone in the reflection of the train window. Nico Mirallegro as Finley "Finn" Nelson, a boy whom Rae clashes with at first, but who later becomes her main love interest.

Earl lives in the Australian city of Hobart and is married to Kevin Johnson. They have a son named Harry. 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. I am seriously baffled because never in my life have I liked a tv show/movie better than the book version. But that's most probably only because I'm a book snob or something. OMG! Is This Actually My Life? Hattie Moore's Unbelievable Year! (2013) - Fictional diary of a teenage girl who lives in Derby.The year is 1989. Rachel "Rae" Earl has recently gotten out of the psychiatric ward. She was there, due to an undisclosed nervous breakdown and was forced to lie to get herself out. Rae overeats to find solace, goes to the pub with her best friend, Bethany, and is relatively boy-crazy. In some parts of the book I did really seem to connect with Rae, like when Harry asked her out because he felt sorry for her and when Bethany was being a downright cow. I really felt sorry for Rae then, because it must have been tough, and I could actually imagine myself in her position. It's these parts of the book that made it difficult to put down. Rae begins the series with her release from a psychiatric ward. She is immediately presented as a psychologically damaged, emotional 16-year-old with normal aspirations and desires. Her weight is automatically highlighted from the start of the series. Throughout Series 1, Rae struggles with her weight. It becomes clear that she has suffered from a range of psychological problems that result in her binging unhealthily; she sees a counselor, Kester, throughout the series, who gradually helps Rae open up about her past and her problems. With his help, she is able to integrate herself into Chloe's group of friends, but not without struggle. Her main friends (and sometimes enemies) throughout the series include Archie, Chop, Finn, Izzy, and Chloe. Overall, this was just laugh-out-loud riotous, and filled with the exact amount of longing and angst that any teenage girl experiences.
