You guys, I read this when I was six (17 years ago) and I would love to know how much six-year-old Elise actually understood these. These were my favourite childhood books, so much sarcasm, sass, and pessimism. What a fun little reread!

I have seen both the movies and read most of the future parts of the book but was never able to read the first book. Though now I might be a little old for this book, I still enjoyed it. Brought back childhood memories. I even got my little sister to like these books.
Definitely a must read. Mia is just so cute.

Rewarching the movies sparked me to wanting to listen to the audiobooks despite the target audience was for younger readers and I myself is getting closer to 30. I REGRET THIS DECISION GREATLY! Holy cow just listening to the journal entries was too much. I probably would've loved this if i was much younger but not adult me. Not even Anne Hathaway's wonderful voice could help me continue this book

This book was very very good. Fun characters, fun story. I like the movie better, because Julie Andrews, but this is an excellent book in and of itself.
I never knew that the movie was a book adaptation [and i’ve been watching it since it came out].
So I was excited to read the book but it’s so difficult to read. Yes, it’s written in the form of a diary, i get it. And Mia is a young teenager. But good grief is she an absolute pill to read. Like reading the diaries of a whiny, bratty teenager.
It drives me up the walls. I found myself zoning out as I tried to read, glossing over chunks of texts.
I don’t know if I’ll continue onto the next book or simply drop it all together.
The movie, in my opinion is much better because of Julie Andrews and having Mia’s grandmother play the main role and cutting out Mia’s father all together.
