Planet Janet

By Dyan Sheldon

An entertaining diary-style novel about a self-obsessed teenage girl and her attempts to navigate the choppy waters of life! Watch out Bridget Jones – here comes Janet!

Meet Janet. She's determined to explore Life's True Essence, despite the countless hurdles in her way (i.e. her mother (The Mad Cow), a tragically lost mobile, the trials of Romantic Love, etc.). But while she splashes around the deep End of the Pool of Life, could Janet be missing what's happening on dry land?

  • Warning: this diary contains deep and serious thoughts that shallow people might find offensive.
