'My New York Diary' documents the events in Doucet's life during a six-month period in 1991. At that time, she packed her bags and moved to New York and waiting for her was her new boyfriend, an aspiring cartoonist himself who took Julie to his apartment.

Reviews
"All of Doucet's panels charm with their clutter and with her self-portrait as a sartorially challenged, scraggly haired waif (literally wide-eyed) who's not as weak as she first seems... Spunky and smart, Doucet is the true voice of grrrrl power." - Kirkus Reviews; "Much like her life, her black-and-white drawings are complex, detailed and cluttered, and transform the hard knocks and bad decisions of a somewhat innocent underground cartoonist into wonderfully charming tales of urban survival." - Publishers Weekly; "Doucet has sweetness and daring, and a self-destructive melancholy no male cartoonist has come close to capturing" - The Village Voice"
