My Mad Fat Diary

It’s 1996, and all that sixteen-year-old, overweight Rae wants is to be a normal teenager.

With her best friend Chloe in a secret relationship with a mystery man, Rae also longs for a boyfriend, but is worried she’ll never get one while she’s overweight.

Rae and Chloe fall out when Rae discovers Chloe’s secret boyfriend is their hot PE teacher, Mr Carrisford.

Rae realises she’s started to fall for Finn and contemplates telling him how she feels as she’s sick of lying. Telling Chloe about her illness was a relief.

It’s Rae versus Chloe in the fight for Finn’s affections. Despite being the more unlikely choice, Rae thinks she still stands a chance with Finn following their heart to heart at the party.

It’s the morning after the rave and Rae’s world is crashing down around her. She needs to talk to people about how she’s feeling but begins to realise she is once again, all alone.
