The funniest person in the worldCaitlin Moran

My comfort read. The best diaries ever written - with apologies to Samuel Pepys, Bridget Jones and meADAM KAY

Celebrate Adrian Moles 50th Birthday with this new edition of the FIFTH BOOK in his diaries, where Adrian faces divorce, fatherhood and (short-lived) television stardom . . .
__________

Adrian Mole is thirty, single and a father.

His cooking at a top London restaurant has been equally mocked (the sausage on my plate could have been a turd) and celebrated (will he be the nations first celebrity offal chef?).

And the love of his life, Pandora Braithwaite, is too busy as the newly elected MP for Ashby-de-la-Zouch to notice him.

Frustrated, disappointed and undersexed, Adrian despairs until a letter from his past changes everything . . .
