Bookroo's summary

Jamie Kelly's diary spills the truth—or close enough—about her classmate Angeline's baffling antics. With her friend Isabella's insights, Jamie navigates the chaos of middle school life, where Angeline's actions are as perplexing as they are strawberry-scented. What could be the dumbest thing Angeline has done? Dive into Jamie's world to find out if her observations hold up and what secrets her diary might reveal.

From the publisher

Sneak a peek inside the NY Times bestselling diary of Jamie Kelly, who promises that everything she writes is true – or at least as true as it needs to be.Dear Dumb Diary, Isabella is probably right. She almost always is. When I think back on all the things I’ve seen Angeline do, the one thing they have in common is that they’re all dumb. (They’re all strawberry-scented, too, but I think that’s just her conditioner – although her body might actually secrete its own strawberry scent.)But of all the dumb things she’s ever done, this has got to be the dumbest.
