Dear Dumb Diary, Let's Pretend this Never Happened by Jim Benton

I read Lets Pretend this Never Happened from the Dear Dumb Diary Series. The genre of the book is Non-Fiction. This book was about a girl named Jamie, pretty much the class clown. While on the other hand there was a girl named Angeline, the most gorgeous popular girl in the school. Angeline was always better than Jamie and Jamie got jealous. One day Angeline turns "Not so gorgeous if your on her left side" and Jamie gets some revenge on her part. Angeline is always a step ahead of Jamie and her BFF Isabella and they were getting tired of it. Suddenly Angeline suddenly does something nice to Jamie and Isabella. This could possibly change their friendship all together. I recommend this book to anyone who likes humor and action. Once you start reading you cant stop, and as soon as you know it you are finished with the book!

Dear Dumb Diaries: Let’s Pretend This Never Happened by Jim Benton

Dear Dumb Diaries: Let’s Pretend This Never Happened. Is about a girl named Jamie. In the diary she keeps it talks about the weird life. It says how people are mean and their popularity and ranks they have. Jamie talks about a girl named Angeline a lot because she doesn't like her because she's mean to her and causes a really big drama between them. Angeline makes nicknames for people not nice ones but mean ones. Jamie got peach girl there's a reason why she got that. So Jamie can’t really say anything bad to Angeline because she will make everybody call Jamie peach girl. So Jamie writes everything she wanted to say about her in her diary. Jamie promises that everything in her diary is true...or at least as true as it needs to be. In this book, Jamie contends with Angeline, the school's prettiest, most popular girl (who Jamie thinks is a goon!) and the impending visit of her troll-like little cousin. I recommend this book to people that like funny books and mostly for girls. I learned that to don't worry about what other people think just be your self. The character changes how she  feels because In the beginning she felt different mood like mad, sad and upset but [SPOILER ALERT] at the end she felt better because she was finally happy because Angeline had an accident  so they gave Angeline an nickname for her. Read the book to see all the interesting  things that happen.
