Middle school is hard enough. But middle school in your own hometown? According to Jamie Kelly, that's just tragic.

In Dear Dumb Diary: The Problem with Here Is That It’s Where I’m From, Jamie is back—armed with her diary, her deeply questionable wisdom, and a brand-new complaint: her entire existence. Specifically, being from a place that isn’t cool, exciting, or filled with glittering celebrities. In her words, "Some people are from interesting places. I am not those people."

What follows is a hilarious, painfully relatable look into the mind of a middle-schooler who’s trying to make sense of growing up in a place that feels way too ordinary. From dramatic lunchroom rivalries to top-secret fashion fails, Jamie dishes it all—unfiltered, unapologetic, and laugh-out-loud funny.

What makes this book stand out? It's not just comedy. It’s emotional honesty disguised as sarcasm. It’s the weird comfort of realizing someone else is just as awkward and confused as you were (or still are). And it’s fun—a lot of it.
