My first impression is that it's similar to, and yet kind of the opposite of, Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Also, it looks like it was originally published in Australia, so it's got that mum-and-mate thing going on.

A series of loosely linked short stories, snatches of life, centring around early adulthood in and around an Australian City (which I think is Brisbane). The stories are real, which is perhaps why I didn't love it - I found nearly all the characters a bit annoying (because late teenagers can be as they're learning to make good and bad life choices).
