This book is super nostalgic to me because it is the first book that I remember pre-ordering and waiting for it to be delivered on release day from amazon. This is the first book that I remember sitting down and completing in one sitting because I DESPERATELY wanted to know what happened. This book was so amazing back then and it still is now, 7 years later.
This book follows Nikki as she tries to ask her crush to the school dance. Honestly, so relatable. Nikki’s behaviour throughout this entire book is just such a mood and exactly what I would do in this situation. I feel like this will be so relatable for tweens who are having their first crush and are too nervous to talk to them... like, as a kid when I first read it, I felt like Nikki understood me and what I was going through with my crushes so... yeah.
The illustrations in this book are also next level! There are so many gorgeous illustrations of dresses that literally made me gasp in excitement.
If you’ve read any of my other reviews for this series, you’ll know that I am a massive fan of Brianna- I think she’s hilarious- so, I’ve gotta say that I loved how much she was in this book. She featured a lot and was still super funny.
I also love the Gym storyline where they are doing swimming and Nikki doesn’t know how to swim. It added some more depth to her character and it was really humanising to see her struggle. Plus, some parts of the gym storyline were pretty funny.
Finally, I wanted to talk about the humour - this book series is always hilarious. I will say that it is more prominent in some of the other books, but this one was still hilarious. I don’t know if it’s because I grew up in the 2000s, so this is just my sense of humour, but I found it hilarious!
I would really recommend this series and this book because they are super fun and light hearted. Honestly, they’re pretty dorkalicious.

That was another fun and lovely book in this series. Really happy everything worked out for Brandon and Nikki. Really hope those two will get together.

One of my students wanted me to read her book. These are very popular in the elementary school. I enjoyed talking about it with my students, but this is an example of twaddle at its finest. It is fine to read this silliness sometimes, but also important that kids understand what good writing looks like and that they develop a taste for real literature as well.

as always Rachel Renee Russell keeps dishing out the hilarious and cheesy stories of Nikki Maxwell and I always enjoy it.
I only read this because I was bored while helping my sister clean her room and this was the book closest to me...
