The new book, entitled “Erin’s Diary,” is written from the viewpoint of the show's character Erin Quinn and will include newspaper clippings, doodles, poetry, school reports, and handwritten notes from her friends, reports Stylist.
A synopsis for the new book says: “Erin has troubles of her own, like the fact that the boy she’s in love with (actually in LOVE with) doesn’t know she exists. Or that her Ma and Aunt Sarah make her include her weirdo cousin Orla in everything she does. Or that head teacher Sister Michael refuses to acknowledge Erin as a literary genius. Not to mention the fact that her second best friend has ALMOST had sex, whereas Erin’s never even kissed anyone yet.
“These are Erin’s Troubles.”
Saoirse-Monica Jackson, who plays Erin Quinn on the show, introduced the tie-in book in a video:

I loved spending time with these characters again.“The book will reveal some new information about old events as well as some brand new antics from Erin and the gang – hopefully it will keep fans laughing until series three hits the screen.”
