Nikki contemplates some more on her secrets that she's been keeping from everybody and what the consequences could be. All of the characters are completely one dimensional. Typical for a kids book, I get it, but come on. Why would the most popular girl in school dedicate her entire life to ruining a random “dork’s” life? Doesn’t she have makeup to try on or something?

There are long random scenes inserted into the book that literally have nothing to do with the plot. They’re just meant to be side gags, but they’re not funny and they take you out of the story.

When i read this book about a middle school girl getting bullied about expressing herself and trying to fit in, and it reminded me of how school is out side of the book world and i had a huge connection. Nikki disguises herself to avoid being detected by Principal Winston, who sends her to the guidance counselor for four hours. Thankfully, her dad did not show up at all. It's Family Movie Night, and Nikki has no choice but to watch a really boring movie she's seen a million times. With a HUGE global fanbase, Dork Diaries is the perfect series for fans of Lottie Brooks, Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Tom Gates.
