They're funnier and better written though share some of the same characteristics (both good and bad) with this series. It's weird and hard to explain, but you can't have something going on in the present when it's all supposed to be a diary written by the character.Įven though the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books decline a bit as they go, I'd recommend those instead. Like she'll talk about writing in her diary in the janitor's closet and then her friends come in and they leave but she's still telling the story like she wasn't just writing everything down.

Plus the whole thing is supposed to be a diary written by the girl but everything plays out in real time. Everything is over-the-top drama and none of it is funny. And the way the kids talk is nowhere near natural.

I thought I was getting Diary of a Wimpy Kid for girls but it's basically a whinefest with no substance. This is not something I'd tell anyone in this book's targeted age range to read. This is about an incredibly materialistic, shallow, melodramatic preteen who is whiny and annoying. I knew right then and there it was going to be a VERY, VERY long school year :-( !. I could NOT believe I had such CRAPPY luck. People like, oh, I don’t know, maybe…Īnd, it just so happened that I got stuck with a locker right next to hers.

I put a lot of really personal stuff in this diary along with my sketches and doodles.īut, mostly it’s about how TRAUMATIC it was transferring to my new private middle school, Westchester Country Day.Īnd, how a lot of the CCP (Cool, Cute & Popular) kids were really SNOBBY and made my life TOTALLY miserable.
