Rae Earl was interviewed on Mashable about My Mad Fat Diary, honesty and body image, just after the TV series based on her life hit Hulu in the USA…

…”Rae Earl looked past the inherent embarrassment of reliving her youth and published her 17-year-old diary, covering the year 1989. My Mad Fat Diary, a hit in the UK with a popular TV adaptation that just hit Hulu in the US, covers young Rae’s experiences as a music-obsessed, boy-crazy, overweight British teen. This funny, heartbreaking and entirely relatable memoir is finally hitting shelves in the US (complete with a glossary for all the British slang) and we couldn’t be more excited.”

The diary is published by St Martin’s Press, US, on April 19th 2016.
