Listening to PHOEBE'S DIARY, narrated by the author and artist, is like opening a time capsule from the mid-2000s. Amid pop-culture references like mix CDs and Myspace, drawn from her own diaries, Wahl delivers a charming and authentic look at her teen years. From first crushes to first kisses, from body image struggles to friendships and family dynamics, Wahl opens up as if talking to a close friend. Unexpectedly funny and achingly honest, she shares her unfiltered experiences. Predominantly homeschooled, Wahl takes electives at the local high school and shares her challenges and successes. Like everyone, she is trying to find herself and blaze her own path. Listeners will find themselves rooting for her while occasionally cringing with embarrassment and empathy. A comical and touching listen. K.S.M. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine
