Okay, I’m doing something that might be a bit controversial and going back to Q1 and doing the

black screen stock images. But it’s not gonna be that bad since I learned how to do green
screen stuff. And voice act a little better.

It’s kind of like thrifting vintage clothes, since I know a lot of you Emma Chaimbearlain Stans
know what that is. So basically it’s a style choice, it’s not because I’m insecure or anything.

The book that we’re gonna take a look at today is called Dork Diaries: Tales from a not so happy
heartbreaker by Rachel Renne Russell which is neither an original nor exiting book but that’s
why I chose it.

MaKayla: But TJ! Why would you choose an unoriginal, boring book?

Well you see, it’s because I want to know how many boundaries I can push. Can I somehow
make an awful, tedious book sound interesting? Who knows! I guess it’s time to find out!

*CHARACTERS TITLECARD*

So in this book we have Nikki, who is kind of like Greg Heffely….but a girl… and exaggerated.

We also have Zoey and Chloe, who’s personalities are so bland and unseasoned I kid you not I
had to go and double check if they were really black and Latina.

Like come on. Rachel renne russel, you are a black woman. Do better.

We have Brandon who kind of has some personality to him like...he….has shaggy
hair….and…., yopu know what? Ive got nothing.

and last but not least Makenzie. Who is like the Regina George of their modern-day WCD
middle school. That’s the setting, by the way.

Speaking of middle school, they’ve been in eighth grade for like three years now so I think it’s
safe to assume that they’re all really dense.

Which I really should’ve figured out by now because Nikki still uses early 2000’s terms like
“OmG” and “cRuSh-iTiS” Which lets be real here, if anyone ever said that to me or my friends
we would turn into bullies for a hot second.

*me on discord testing it out by saying “OMG you guys! My crush totally just texted me back! I
have SUCH a severe case of crush-itis!”*

*SUMMARY TITLECARD*
So in the shortest way possible I’m going to try to summarize this cesspool of hot burning trash
in the most attractive way possible because, let’s be real here, you all have lives and I don’t
really want to keep you here for long. I mean, I know I’m absolutely hilarious but guys, guys,
cmon, there’s enough of me to go around.

*sarcasm if you can’t tell*

So in this book we follow Nikki who has the biggest, most OBVIOUS crush on Brandon.

Jenna: “But TJ? How do you know that?”

I know because she writes about him in EVERY. SINGLE. ENTERY. And I’m not even joking.
This girl is obsessed with him to the point where she cries over him on the dusty school toilet,
which, I hate to break it to you sis, but middle school relationships do NOT last for that long.

Gracyn: “TJ, you’ve never been in a relationship before, so how would you know that?”

A BUB BUB BUB- that’s not the point. The point is from my scientific studies which consist of
me sitting back and observing my classmates they don’t last even two weeks. The moral of the
story is don’t take relationships too seriously. Your, like, 12 or 13, in fact, IM 13, and even I have
enough common sense to know that it’s just not that serious.

Or maybe it is and I just don’t know what I’m talking about.

But anyway, the valentines dance is coming up! And you know what that means! It’s finally time
for the most prettiest, popular girl in school to get it because looks are everything and if you
didn’t get crowned “sweetheart princess” it’s not because your not funny or because your
annoying, it’s because your not attractive enough.

Ahh, schools. Teaching us that looks, do in fact, matter.

So Nikki doesn’t want to go to the dance because she’s too afraid of rejection but Chloe and
Zoey, being the best friends they are, force her to go anyway, and so Nikki has to work up the
courage to ask Brandon to the dance. All the while Makenzie is being Makenzie and trying to
“steal” Brandon away, even though he is… clearly not interested whatsoever.

*RATINGS TITLECARD*

I’m gonna be honsest with you and say that I hate this book with a burning passion.
There just something about it that makes it feel like a Mean Girls wannabe. Like mean girls 2.
But worse.

If I had to rate this book I would rate it a 4.7 out of 10 would not recommend.

But since I am unfourtuantly not the only one with opinions I asked some of my friends too.

*discord voice chat pops up, with Gracyn as Blue, Jenna as Pink, George as Black, and
MaKayla as Yellow, and Me as Red.*

Me asking about there opinions is very improvish.

So, that’s it. That’s the end. And with that, I leave you this quote from the book that is at the end
of every book in the series!
