Flairs, France and Serious Fashion Crimes - My 1975 Diary, Mattocks Bev

Its 1975 and 16-year old Bev can scarcely believe it when the dishiest boy at youth club asks her out. But then Mike dumps Bev for the girl down the road and Bevs whole world falls apart. Thankfully Bev is off to stay with her French penfriend but her passion for all-things French turns sour when faced with the lack of public toilets and endless dusty museums in the searing Provence heat. Horribly homesick, Bev counts the days until she lands back on British soil and can meet up with old-flame Simon whos working at a hotel in Weston Super Mare. But Bev just cant get Mike off her mind...

This is Bevs real-life 1975 teenage diary in the raw: hilarious yet tearful, bitchy yet philosophical, laugh-out-loud yet toe-curlingly embarrassing. If you liked Rae Earls 1980s Mad, Fat Teenage Diary, you will love this real-life teenage diary from the decade that taste forgot: the 1970s.
