My Mad Fat Diary by Rae Earl

My Mad Fat Diary by Rae Earl

The funny, sad and compelling diary kept by an overweight teenage girl that became the basis for the British television sensation of the same name available to stream on HULU.

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.

She's also just been released from a psychiatric ward. My Mad Fat Diary is the hilarious, harrowing and touching real-life diary Rae kept during that fateful year and the basis of the hit British television series of the same on HULU. Surrounded by people like her constantly dieting mum, her beautiful frenemy Bethany, her mates from the private school up the road (called Haddock, Battered Sausage and Fig) and the handsome, unattainable boys Rae pines after (who sometimes end up with Bethany...), My Mad Fat Diary is the story of an overweight young woman just hoping to be loved at a time when slim pop singers ruled the charts.

Rae's chronicle of her world will strike a chord with anyone who's ever been a confused, lonely teenager clashing with her parents, sometimes overeating, hating her body, always taking herself VERY seriously, never knowing how positively brilliant she is and keeping a diary to record it all. My Mad Fat Diary - 365 days with one of the wisest and funniest girls in England.

Rae Earl was born in the Lincolnshire town of Stamford. She did every position in a radio station except accounting after graduating from Hull University. Rae has contributed to publications such as The Guardian, Marie Claire, and Elle, as well as being published in The Telegraph and The Times. She's also made appearances on BBC Breakfast TV, BBC World Service, and a variety of local radio stations. Her books My Mad Fat Diary and My Madder Fatter Diary have been adapted into a television series that is broadcast in over fifty countries throughout the world, including the United States.

My Life Uploaded is a film about her adolescence. Her husband and son currently reside in Hobart, Tasmania.
