Synopses & Reviews
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. . . .
Synopsis
The wedding Dear Dumb Diary readers have been anxiously anticipating is about to become a reality: Jamie's aunt and Angeline's uncle joined together until death do they part -- or until the divorce Jamie has been feverishly wishing for since they started dating finally happens. Now, three of Jamie's most dreaded nightmares are about to be combined into one unbearable event:
1) Very VERY poofy brown dresses
2) Wedding clogs
3) A lifetime of being related to Angeline, a.k.a. Blondewad
Jamie has just one word for this kind of horror:
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
