This is the first book in this series. To start off, the main character is named Nikki Maxwell. Instead of getting an iPhone from her mom, she receives a blank diary. She hates the diary at first and thinks it's lame, but over time she discovers that she enjoys writing in her diary. During her gym class, she meets two girls named Zoey and Chloe and they instantly become the best of friends. They also share a common enemy...the mean girl Mackenzie who will stop at nothing to make their lives terrible. Will Nikki survive high school along with Zoey and Chloe? Or will Mackenzie make it terrible? Find out in this book and the series.
