Cringe: Teenage Diaries, Journals, Notes, Letters, Poems, and Abandoned Rock Operas by Sarah Brown
(Crown, $26)
“The world is made up of three groups: people who never kept diaries, people who kept diaries, and people who kept diaries but destroyed them.” This anthology of adolescent journal submissions serves up a big heap of hilarity for teens and grown-up teens alike. Spot-on snippets of awkward revelations and pubescent melodrama makes it impossible not to fall on the floor laughing. —SP
