Dear Diary
by Lesley Arfin

Memoir

With Dear Diary, her first book-length work, Lesley Arfin, author of the “Dear Diary” column in Vice magazine, expands on her column’s concept of revisiting her most personal diary entries. In Dear Diary the book, the entries span a timeline from junior high up to the present and cover everything from her first kiss to her first cigarette, her first drink to her full-blown heroin addiction. A deeply personal look at Arfin’s troubled teenage years and beyond, Dear Diary deals with topics that are at times as painfully uncomfortable as they are funny.

From the book’s magnet closure flap, with a painted lock on it, to the way each entry is formatted and structured, Dear Diary is designed to make you feel as if you’re sneaking into your older sister’s bedroom and reading her diary in the dark with a flashlight. “Diaries are for when life isn’t fun,” Arfin writes. “They’re for figuring out what went wrong.” One of the ways Arfin, now in her twenties, tries to figure out what went wrong is by tracking down the people who once bullied or pursued her and asking them questions like, “Why did you tease me in 6th grade?” “What was your reason for calling me ‘BARFIN ARFIN’ and writing it on the bathroom wall?” and “Why do you think our relationship didn’t work out?”

Dear Diary is a wonderfully raw firsthand examination of the problems we all encounter as we try to find ourselves and our way through life. We give Arfin major props for taking us on this brutally honest journey into her past. Let’s just hope her parents don’t read this one.
