Things that annoy me by Ruby Brady: Comic diary of a modern teenager dealing with her annoying parents
** Suitable for Young Adults, Old Adults & Older Teens - contains some swearing **Ruby Brady is a typical modern teenager, surgically attached to her mobile phone, who is attempting to navigate her way through a social media-dominated world .. and she has plenty to be annoyed about. … She has a mother going through a spiritual awakening, endlessly searching for inner peace whilst counting down the hours to wine o’clock, and endlessly comparing her life to others on the internet. There is her hipster-hating stepdad, who constantly rants about millennials and vegans whilst harbouring delusions of rock stardom. Ruby’s journal follows her day-to-day life over 18 months starting in 2017, in a political landscape defined by Brexit and Trump. She faces the complexities of home life, friendships and school and attempts to understand her embarrassing parents and explain the modern world to her grandparents. A very lighthearted look at modern life in a time of Facebook, Instagram and Reality TV. It follows three generations of a family, as they all try to understand each other’s language use, interests and differences, all seen through the eyes of a teenage girl.

Funny modern day take on life in the UK
Really funny. I bought this book for a holiday read and thoroughly enjoyed Ruby's take on life. Neville and Jaz's relationship from a teen perspective was hilarious and some of Neville's quips provided real laugh out loud (LOL) moments. Read it in 2 days.
Well worth it if you want a fun read but also provides a time piece that will be fascinating to go back to in years to come (especially for Ruby's age group). Thanks Kay.
