TUESDAY 7 AUGUST

The more I think about it, the more I realize that Ethan choosing Disha is the best thing that could have happened. I'm really v lucky. It's an ENORMOUS relief to have seen the real Ethan before it was too late. (Look how long it took the MC to see the real Sigmund!) I mean, aside from the lack of chemistry (which everyone knows is CRUCIAL to a real relationship), it would never've worked between us. He's not at all artistic or creative, for one thing - which is something that's v important to me. And for another, he doesn't really have an active sense of humor. He laughs at my jokes, of course (only my parents don't), but he never really makes any of his own. And today, instead of being STUNNED by his eat-your-heart-out-Keanu-Reeves good looks, I noticed he has hair on his earlobes (how gross is that?). Gave him Disha's number, and by the time I got home, he'd already rung her and made a date! I reckoned he must've called on his mobe from the gents', since Saduki DOES NOT ALLOW personal phone calls on the Durango phone. I said, "It's not v romantic, ringing someone from a urinal, is it?" Dish said, "Maybe he was standing at the sink."

Présentation de l'éditeur

Janet's symbiotic relationship with her best friend is put to the test by the arrival of a controlling boyfriend in Dyan Sheldon's witty, diary-style sequel to PLANET JANET.

Now that her mum, the Mad Cow, has split from her cad of a dad, Janet Bandry — despite her Creative, Artistic Mind — is leaving the Dark Phase to enter the Work Force. Only one thing can ease the physical torture of waitressing at a local Mexican restaurant — a dreamy waiter named Ethan who definitely has romantic designs on . . . Disha, Janet's best friend. Janet, of course, is mature enough to get over it — except for the fact that Disha now won't hang out with anyone but her possessive new beau. And if that's not appalling enough, even the Mad Cow is newly besotted — with a bearded suitor who has her singing old folk songs and boycotting evil corporate greed. Good thing Janet is sensible enough to start an advice column for the school paper and has her mates David and Marcus to talk to, as the entire female species seems to have gone insane.

Detailed in humorously melodramatic diary entries and including a glossary of Britishisms, PLANET JANET IN ORBIT follows the precarious path of a comically self-absorbed teen who is learning some useful lessons about loyalty, family, and friendship.
