Carrie gives Kymer the insect field journal of Flora Ellen Richardson, the first woman to graduate from KU. When Kymer reviews the bug diary, she realizes there's a bee in Flora's journal that's never before been identified by science. A wild ride ensues changing the world of entomology, and her personal world, forever.The freshman year away at college can be a challenge—studying, partying, making friends, finding a hookup—but when Freshman Kymer Charvat indulges in recreational drugs with her new friends, an on-campus ghost hands her a mystery to solve.An entomology major entering her first year of college at a far-away mid-western school, Kymer is ready to disengage from her superficial, social-climbing mother.

One afternoon, the three friends get high and take a bus to the museum for fun. That's when a second campus ghost, naturalist and professor Lewis Lynsey Dyche, approaches Kymer to give her another hint to help her identify the mystery bee in Flora's bug diary. Soon, classifying the mystery bee is Kymer's main drive.The Bug Diary takes the reader on a wild review of history and bugs, and a laugh-out-loud exploration of campus life!

Amber Fraley’s New Adult debut has intriguing, entertaining aspects but didn’t live up to its initial promise. It features Kymer (aka Kylie), first-year student at Kansas University (KU), juggling all the usual issues associated with leaving home for the first time. Kymer’s slightly different from most of her classmates, she loves bugs: all the creepy-crawly, slimy ones that girls are supposed to hate. She keeps a small menagerie in her dorm room and fantasies about becoming a researcher when she graduates. It’s this unusual fascination, and a supernatural intervention, that leads her to the long-lost diary of Flora Ellen Richardson, student at KU in the nineteenth century, a would-be scientist who amassed an impressive insect collection. The diary contains a puzzling entry posing a mystery that Kymer sets out to solve.
Despite some flaws, the first two-thirds of this rattled along and I was caught up in the characters and plot. I particularly appreciated Fraley’s attention to detail, her careful descriptions of butterflies and insects Kymer encounters, and the environmentally-conscious approach these revealed. And I thought Fraley captured much of the experience of moving away to university: negotiating family expectations, making new friends and forging an independent identity. But then the narrative shifted focus to a tortured relationship between Kymer and a local townie, and my interest faded.
Fraley’s work’s a little forced and unsophisticated compared to writers like Malinda Lo or Mary H.K. Choi, but her prose’s mostly solid and she includes a diverse range of characters, although I felt that some of these verged on stereotype: the working-class roommate from a dysfunctional family, the over-the-top, gay, black film student and the resentful “red-neck” local. I found the fantasy elements particularly unsatisfying; they were dropped into the plot at various points but not followed up in any developed sense, and I’d happily see them cut.
I think part of my dissatisfaction with where Fraley ended up is because it wasn’t where I expected her to go, the publisher’s description highlighted LGBTQIA themes as central, but the last third of this is firmly in heterosexual romance territory - the sex scenes are presumably why this is New Adult rather than YA. I also found there was an increasing tendency for Fraley to go off on tangents – a didactic STI clinic episode, a long visit to Kymer’s grandparents – so the mystery sparked by Flora's diary's buried under the sheer weight of extraneous material. But a lot of the general problems are standard first-novel ones, and I’ll be interested to see how Fraley’s work develops in future.

It’s way too late for me now, but after reading The Bug Diary, by Amber Fraley, I have some inkling of what freshman college girls thought about. In her reminiscence of the first year of college the freshman and would-be entomologist narrator, Kymer Charvat, encounters new and sometimes unusual friends, romance, and a couple of ghosts, including the spirit of Carrie Watson, after whom the University of Kansas’s main library is named for. Ms.Watson gives Kymer a book, a journal kept by a long-deceased entomogist professor, Flora Ellen Richardson. Ms. Watson tells Kymer not to check out the journa saying, “I have always been and will always be, the head librarian here and I am entrusting that book you and you alone. You’ll be free to leave with it, under my authority.” I enjoyed this tale of a freshman from Maryland coming to the University of Kansas and experiencing the fun and anxiety and wonder of passing from adolescence to adulthood.

The first book in a long time that I didn’t want to put down. Great characters and very compelling. Very honest scenes about kids crossing into adulthood. and navigating the pitfalls, self doubts, and realizations of their place in the world. Wasn’t sure where it was going at the beginning, but at some point realized I was glad I was along for the ride, and really needed to see what happened next.

This was a fun book. I did feel it drug on in a few places. But I LOVED the characters. I would of loved to have them as friends in college. I did not expect the "otherworld" twist to this. But I like how it wasn't REALLY "ghosty", but how it brought the history of the college and the lead characters direction in life to light. Looking forward to the next one.

This book is a coming of age story about being young, being at College, growing up and deciding what you want in life... with a very light sprinkle of ghosts, and a really healthy amount of love for insects. I wouldn't class this book as especially supernatural or fantasy, as the ghosts are a small part of the story and the rest of the story feels so completely based in reality - but I did enjoy the additional element of fun / whimsy that the ghost scenes added. This book felt like a breath of fresh air within the genre of YA/ New Adult books.
A highlight of the book for me was that the writing did a great job at capturing that specific feeling of being College-age (although I'm British, so for me, Uni-age). I actually graduated almost a decade ago (ah!), but this book really transported me back to that time and those feelings. It really captured what it's like to move away from home for the first time, live with people from different backgrounds and to question who you are as a person and what you want from life. It all felt very genuine and honest - particularly the part about visiting home after having lived away for the first time.
I enjoyed all three of the main characters and their friendships were fun and light-hearted and full of humor and love for each other. The other characters that (MC) Kyler meets throughout the book are diverse and the author has taken these opportunities to briefly highlight some of the types of conversations about privilege and inequality that occur when you're young and naïve and finally meeting people with truly different life experiences. At times, the naivety of the main character, Kyler, was a little uncomfortable, but it also felt very true and honest to the experience of being that particular age, and having a lot yet to learn (and thankfully - it felt that Kyler also had lots of willingness to do so!)
Kyler is a great main character and she tells this story with lots of humor and authenticity - and her interest in bugs and entomology was such a fresh theme to explore - it really set the book apart from other coming of age stories!
I also liked the queerness of this book, and not just the explicitly queer side characters (who are great). Although the main character Kyler does not define her sexuality, I felt that there was queerness in her inner voice and her friendships, and it was refreshing to feel this queerness built into the story so naturally without being picked apart and labelled. (Although her romantic relationships at the fore-front of this story are cis-straight.)
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and would definitely return for a sequel to see what happens next in the lives of these characters! (- And of course for more bugs!)

DNF at 23%. I really tried to get into this! The promise of a nature/biology-based element, college kids, LGBT+ characters, bugs, a paranormal element, and a cool mystery, made the premise pretty eye-catching! I can see that the author was going for a character-leaning story with a lot of university life elements, and that is definitely up my alley.
Unfortunately it got buried in extraneous details. The quiz being narrated, up to how many wrong and right answers the MC, and random characters got, for example, as well as the floor meeting. I was hoping for some more character development, maybe a new character relationship to pop up, but it felt like those moments were just adding atmosphere, and could've been told instead of shown, in my opinion.
The worst crime of this extraneous detail is it buries the actual premise of the story, which is the mystery! It is a genuinely interesting concept to be delivered a mysterious book by a presumably dead librarian. But aside from delving into scenes that don't tell us much at all about character or plot, (in the fairly short amount of time I engaged with this) anytime Kymer finds a clue it's straight passages of the book, or because she's lying in bed thinking. It had potential to be much more engaging from the first quarter of the book.
Not to mention, the backstory sharing between Kymer and Siren, (as well as between them and Mattie, but to a lesser extent) felt unearned. We barely know anything about Siren or Kymer before they're sharing intimate, painful details about their lives. The political awareness is very clumsy too, and kind of brushed off.
All in all, a book with a lot of potential that just wasn't really achieved.

This was a delightful story of a freshman in college finding her way with the help of some ghosts and her good friends. I found myself transported back to the feelings of being a newbie in a strange place, conflicts with parents who just don’t “get it,” and having good friends to help along the way. Looking forward to more exploits from Kymer!
December 27, 2021
Great coming of age story. As a long time Lawrence resident and KU alum, I loved how Amber Fraley was able to catcher the essence of both places. Looking forward to more adventures of Kymer, Siren and Mattie!

A quick and delightful read. As a KU alum, it definitely brought back memories from my freshman year, even though that was one million years ago.

I hadn't heard of the (sub)genre "new adult" before--clearly an offshoot of young adult and coming of age, but it fits this book perfectly and could become a genre I regularly seek out.
This novel won't be confused with high literature, but that is not in any way a complaint here. Before picking this one up, I'd read a couple of Man Booker and Pulitzer type books and this story felt easy and refreshing by comparison. Many of us have had the experience of carving out an identity, independent of our families of origin, in our first years away from home/off to college/out on our own. That's really what we get to witness here for Kymer, and Fraley captures her voice quite well.
Do I think this book needed the bits of magical realism/ghost elements? No, but I also didn't mind them. The ghostly appearances were really just a vehicle for Kymer to more fully establish her interests and gently rebel against some of the traditional forces in her life.
I appreciated the subtle but important discussions centering on things like privilege, sexuality, gender, etc. Kymer makes some important realizations about her own biases, but also stands up for herself (at least mostly) when others wrong or abuse her. While I'd hardly call this a must-read, I also wouldn't at all mind if my own kids picked it up (both my son and my daughter) when they're getting closer to this stage of their lives.
Inevitably, my favorite moments were when Kymer was hanging with Siren and Mattie. The postscript suggesting that there will soon be more adventures for them has me excited!

I wanted to like this but the plot gets lost in the mundane. The characters are diverse and developed, but the title of the book is The Bug Diary and that part of the story just gets buried.
We find out the MC can talk to ghosts and she discovers a long-lost and never ID'd bee that she gets to name, but in the midst of all that, we drown in her walking uphill in the heat, her getting tested for STDs, her not getting along with her mother, etc. All these extras about her life would be interesting if there was a point to it all, if there was a catharsis, a main event, a big action scene, or something that brings it all together.
Plus, she talks to ghosts and that just gets glossed over. I'm not even sure why it was added if it's not a big deal in the main plot. The part where they finally locate the bee and she gets to name it should be the big, main event, but it is buried with a "she got her 5 minutes of fame, now back to her teen drama life that really does not define her character."
However, I kept reading. It was interesting enough, but I had hoped for more. It was anti-climatic.

The story is good -- a first year undergrad at the University of Kansas growing up with diverse friends. However, for anyone that knows insects, the details are wrong. The phenology and circadian rhythms of some of the insects are not correct. The scientific publishing process was laughably fast and there is no way an entomologist would teach the first semester biology course. An undergraduate would also never be allowed unsupervised in the entomology collections. We can suspend belief for some of these things because, after all, ghosts are involved. The main character was true to life because the writing skills of the author matches that of a first year KU student-- all the same grammatical errors and excess words. The number of typos was a bit annoying as well, but it is an easy read.

Cute coming of age story
Don't be thrown by the title as it really is a coming of age story. Loved the string of KU. It was not really fantasy although some ghosts do make an appearance but aren't really a major part of the story. It was a quick and enjoyable read. Would recommend it.

Fun story about an intelligent young woman leaving home for college and finding a new life. Kymer makes friends and settles into a new life in Lawrence, KS leaving the east coast behind, but then has a startling experience. Anyone who attended the University of Kansas, or has visited Lawrence should read because it's a little slice of the quirky town in an entertaining New Adult package.

This was an easy story to follow, funny, fast pace, cheery with a touch of mystifying ghostly visits, and detailed descriptions of bugs! The story is about a young student named Kymer Charvat who starts her journey as a student at the University of Kansas; her love for ‘bugs’ drives her to pursue her dream despite her mother’s reluctance of her choice of major, entomology; giving her a chance to run away from the suburban’s snobbery which she just won’t adapt, a chance to discover her true self, to learn more about the bug life she loved since she was a little girl and a chance to make new friends

Entertaining for a juvenile audience. Fairly well written with a wonderful way of introducing some of the characters as people of color.

Meh, it was okay. Didn't care for the ending.

This was a different type of book than I usually read. It was okay, but not very intriguing for me personally.

December 22, 2024DNF @ chapter 13.
The bee plot wasn't even the B plot. I got pretty much to the halfway point and the mystery storyline hadn't moved an inch. Instead, it's aaaaaall about Kymer's college life and how she loves college so much more than home. Kymer is a downright awful, hypocritical bitch. She's very much "not like other girls" from chapter one and she makes sure you know it. I wanted to quit early on because her actively planning to cheat on her boyfriend like it's no big deal just because they're 19 and probably won't last was gross. It felt more like a YA than new adult, aside from Kymer going on and on about how horny she is and how much she's willing to cheat on her boyfriend.
The one scene of Kymer and Siren kissing was written in a pretty typical way of sexualising sapphic intimacy. Did it have to be pointed out how "hot" they looked as they kissed, especially right after Kymer was sexually harrassed?
The dialogues are crearly Fraley's weak point. They're full of exposition, repetitive, and incredibly unnatural. The characters don't talk like human beings, it's all telling and barely any showing. I don't know if it was corrected in the final edit, but it's incredibly repetitive as well. Kymer and Zach have the exact same conversation over text only pages apart. Other than Siren and Mattie, the side characters are just names.
If you're hoping to learn something about entomology or find a ghostly mystery, look the other way. All you'll get is yet another college drama.

I really was interested in the plot, but the writing comes off as very young adult instead of new adult. A lot of the dialogue is very "girlboss". I couldn't shake the feeling I was reading something off wattpad, what a fourteen-year-old would think college would be about. Philosophical classroom discussions and dudebros whining about liberals. (Not that life isn't like that, but it could've been handled better.) There's a lot of info-dumping disguised as conversation and bonding. I really couldn't imagine actual people talking about their families this way. It felt so unnatural. I could tell right away this was more for the reader to catch up on their family dynamics whether than natural conversation.
Writing these kinds of characters could work very well if the author was trying to do satire, but none of this felt satirical at all. I definitely get the idea of what Fraley was going for but it was a huge miss for me.
I can see how someone would like this, but it's not for me.

I want to thank the publishers and NetGalley for allowing me the opportunity to read this book. I selected book because I fondly remember my own college days and collecting insects for an Invertebrate Zoology course.
The book is about a girl named Kymer as she attends university in Kansas. It is a typical college story of parties, sex, drugs, and exams. The ghostly encounter in the library is very appealing and whimsical. I enjoyed the book and am anxious to find out what happens next.
