Of course it sounds "whiny", all pre-teen/teen girls are whiny. This book is actual diary excerpts of a girl who grew up in the mid to late 90's (and those of us who are close in age know those years were filled with the standard mix of sex, drugs and rock n roll and let's not forget angst!). mixed in with the diary entries, the author contacts prominent people from her past and asks their take on the past.

I enjoyed this quick read as a walk down memory lane. It also serves as a cautionary tale to those girls who are currently dabbling in drugs.

Maybe it's a generational thing -- the whole book was lacking literary quality and it just seemed the teeniest bit whiney.

Great read. A great insight to a teenage girls mind and what teenage life is like for most.
