   Dear Nobody is a true diary of a young girl named Mary Rose. The events written occur between the ages of fifteen to seventeen. Mary writes about a life where her mothers keeps going back to abusive boyfriend, doing drugs and drinking, hanging out with people who are 3 years older than her, and waiting for her disease to take her. Feeling like she is a nobody in a town where the kids bully her even when she stands up to them; leads her into a world where alcohol becomes her best friend.  The adolescent years can be a tough stage but when you have nobody to go for emotion and mental health it can be a whirlwind.
