!! The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer
By Jennifer Lynch
Written by Jennifer Lynch (David Lynch's daughter). Lynch paints a haunting portrait of an abused teen's double life, falling into a world of prostitution and cocaine abuse, while maintaining the status quo as homecoming queen and high school student. Published during the summer between the original broadcasts of the first and second seasons, the book provided fans with much-sought-after information regarding Laura's veiled personal life, including her knowledge of and/or relationship with the enigmatic character of "Killer Bob."
[[folder: Tropes for the novel]]
* AscendedExtra: While certainly not extras, Leo Johnson and Jacques Renault being two of the most important people in Laura's life is surprising.
* BigBad: BOB tortures Laura her entire life.
* BiTheWay: Laura Palmer discovers she's bisexual fairly early in her life and this also makes her uncomfortable with her sexuality.
* ContinuitySnarl: Donna and Maddy know each other in this book and have a slumber party with Laura despite the fact the former "meet" in the actual show.
** Maddy is also a few years older than Laura despite being her identical cousin. May be FridgeBrilliance as that would mean she's Sheryl Lee's actual age.
** Some of the incidents in ''Film/TwinPeaksFireWalkWithMe'' are taken from the book but changed. Like the DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale is stopped before it occurs.
* DemotedToExtra: Despite being Laura's best friend in the show, she's barely mentioned in the diary.
* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: Laura almost causally mentions she intimidated Harold Smith into sex one day out of sheer boredom, knowing he couldn't go outside.
* DownerEndinG: Laura Palmer is going to be murdered right after the diary is finished. [[spoiler: It will also help Agent Cooper in his fight against BOB so it may be an EsotericHappyEnding.]]
* DrugsAreBad: Laura's worst actions and lack of care about getting people killed are all done while under the influence of cocaine.
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: The realization BOB is [[spoiler: her father Leland. It's left out of the book but there's plenty of clues to pick on the subtext.]]
* FilleFatale: Horribly-horribly {{Deconstructed}} as her sexual abuse and precociousness has her acting as a FemmeFatale from pubescence onward.
* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: Subverted. Laura is a decent person who thinks she's evil but doesn't really think too much about the consequences of her actions while high on cocaine.
* NotQuiteTheRightThing: Laura attempts to save her horse (bought for her by Ben Horne) from BOB by setting it free. [[spoiler: RealityEnsues when it starves, loses its shoes, and has to be put down when found.]]
* NotSoImaginaryFriend: BOB has been abusing Laura since her early childhood on. Laura tries to disbelieve in him at one point but it doesn't work.
* SexIsEvilAndIAmHorny: Laura struggles with this attitude. Eventually, she decides it's why she's evil and beyond saving.
* SpoiledByTheMerchandise: While it doesn't say for certain that [[spoiler: Leland Palmer]] killed Laura, it makes it pretty clear if you're paying the slightest bit of attention [[spoiler: that he's sexually molesting her.]]
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Laura Palmer is sexually active with much older men from the time she's twelve to her death at age seventeen. She's even able to [[{{Squick}} "seduce" (her words) twenty-two year olds into pleasing her]] when she's twelve.
