Bookroo's summary

Jamie Kelly's diary is a secret window into her world, where she navigates the ups and downs of school life and her complicated feelings about Angeline, the seemingly perfect girl. As Jamie humorously documents her attempts to cope with Angeline's flawlessness, readers are invited to laugh along with her candid observations and witty reflections. Will Jamie manage to keep her cool, or will Angeline's perfection drive her over the edge? Dive into Jamie's diary for a comedic glimpse into the trials of friendship and the quest for self-acceptance.

From the publisher

There are more than 5 million Dear Dumb Diary books in print! Bestselling author Jamie Kelly is back with an all-new, all-funny diary! But she has no idea that anybody is reading it. So please, please, please don’t tell her. Dear Dumb Diary, I went five whole days without seeing or hearing from Angeline. I was beginning to get used to it. It’s true that I have learned to overlook many of Angeline’s flaws, like her flawlessness, but she can still be difficult to be around. Like when she’s lit perfectly, for example. To my extreme credit, I have learned to pretend to ignore Angeline’s failure to not be perfect.
