I loved Brianna, Nikki's little sister. this is similar to Diary Of A Wimpy Kid except with a girl

This book is all about fitting in at a snobby prep high school where Nikki Maxwell, the main character, feels like she doesn't belong. She has a locker next to the meanest and richest girl at WCD, Mackenzie Hollister. Mackenzie totally tries to ruin Nikki's any chance of entering the art competition, so Nikki signs up for LSAs(Library Shelving Assistants). She meets Chloe Garcia and Zoey Franklin, who become her best friends at school. Chloe is a relationship guru, and is depended on by Nikki for help getting to know Brandon Roberts, her crush who sits next to her in biology class. Zoey is basically a Dr. Phil in lip gloss and hoop earrings, often known for saying encouraging sayings by famous people. Nikki, Chloe and Zoey navigate through WCD, coming across BFF feuds, crush advice and many good vs. bad battles with Mackenzie and her posse(the good side being Nikki and friends, the bad side being Mackenzie and her group.)

I love this whole ENTIRE series love it. With the narrations, it grabs you in and never lets you go. I totally recommend it!

This book was OK. I didn't read any more in the series and it wasn't all that great. It is similar to Diary of a Wimpy Kid, except the main character's a girl. Not that great.
