Diary of a Chav: Too Cool for School by Grace Dent (author) (UK edition)

Shiraz Bailey Wood has made up her mind. She’s leaving Goodmayes, waving goodbye to Mayflower Academy Sixth Form and her part time job at Mr Yolk and moving to London with Carrie Draper. Carrie’s got herself a place at Tabitha Tennant’s beauty school, so she’s sorted. Now all Shiraz has to focus on is getting herself a job. She has a bit of trouble finding the most suitable job mind, nothing seems quite right for a girl of Shiraz’s originality and wit…And she has to admit, she’s missing her family – even Murphy – something rotten. But Shiraz BW will not give up – she’s going to finish what she started, even if she does keep looking out of the crappy flat window to see if there’s a Banana Yellow Golf parked up front….
