Backyard Fairies door Phoebe Wahl
A really beautiful children’s book that little me would have been obsessed with! I love all the small details in here: the drawings on the bedroom wall, the clothing of the fairies, and the textures of the natural woods.🍃🍄🌸
Beautifully crafted and tenderly told! I adore Wahls artwork; it accompanies her stories so perfectly and just crafts a whole cozy world of a picture book. (Plus there are chickens in this book, so that’s a bonus💕)
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It took me back to my wild teenage years, where I was full of emotions. The author shares that this book is a fictional story of her own diary entries, where I can see the realistic life of a teenager.
In this story, there is language, sexual content, drug and alcohol use, despite some of the content I would recommend this to older teens. The content would make a great conversation starter for parents with their children on how to navigate life as a teen.

(Full disclosure: I received a free e-ARC for review through Netgalley.)
I've been in a reading slump for going on a year, and I'm sad to say that this book didn't snap me out of it. PHOEBE'S DIARY is the second or third 'diary of a teenage girl' I've picked up on the mistaken notion that it's a graphic novel - when, in fact, it's more of an illustrated prose book. Which is fine, I guess. I just don't fancy reading about awkward, often unrequited high school crushes in such excruciating detail.
I don't know why I gravitate towards these diaries, since they tend to revolve around obsessions with the opposite sex. While I don't begrudge boy-crazy teenage girls - hey, I used to be one! - it makes for somewhat cringey (and boring) reading.
Also, these Harry Potter references? Do not age well.
On the plus side, I enjoyed the illustrations (wish there were more!), Phoebe's friendships, and the stories about her homeschooling (again, wish there were more!). I also loved the look back at the mid-aughts (about a decade after I was a teen), complete with flip phones, MySpace messages, and Trek Video outings.… (meer)
