I'm on my 30s already but yes, I really enjoy reading this book (series). Nikki and Brandon's cute love/crush story makes anyone who is in my age to reminisce about their first crush and the time they unintentionally broke our hearts.

I would absolutely adored this book more if I'm younger than my age now BUT STILL. I love Nikki's character and she's growing up! Ha. Briana and Oliver are so cute! And never forget Nikki and Brandon! The sweetest thing :')

Dork Diaries: Holiday Heartbreak
Probably the worst book I have ever read in my entire life. This heap of cow dung was farted out by Rachel Renee Russell. This novel was concerning our infernal main character; Nikki as she goes through brain-melting drama. The book can hardly be categorised as having a plot, it’s more like this girl rambles incoherently into her diary and we are supposed to laugh. Never in my life have I seen a worse representation of pre-teen human beings. This girl is supposed to be a likable character while she comes off as just evil, making what she categorises as mistakes but come off more as hate-filled acts of psychopathy and brutality. I think that lightning was captured in a bottle with Diary of a Wimpy Kid, beautifully illustrating the inner frustrations and thought process of the youth of the western world but DD is just a failure in all ways Diary of a Wimpy Kid was successful. The way this book was written is very bizarre and irritating with varying sizes of text, unnecessary use of exclamation points and smiley faces which, from a literary standpoint, is sloppy and pandering. This book comes off not so much as a novel but more like the diaries of a Psychopathic young woman who cares about nothing other than dancing with her air-headed crush. The illustrations in this book are simply horrendous. Looking at them is like a kick to my testicals, they give me the eye-equivalent of a nose bleed, they are clustered, unattractive, awkward and overall unpleasant to look at. DOAWK had pictures that were simple but I thought that a kid had drawn them and I think they even did a good job of conveying the story in a humorous way. It looks like Rachel really wanted to look better than DOAWK by having more human-appearing, detailed images but it failed so badly because they are so uncomfortable to look at. All of the characters don’t have fingers as much as they have mittens on all the time which I can’t even begin to understand why, it only adds the weirdness of the images. If you asked what the worst part of this book was, I would definitely say it was the main character; probably the most unintentionally horrible person in literature. Greg from DOAWK had some very unkind and mean spirited moments but this girl is just awful, my mouth was agape for the whole time due to how shallow and cruel she was. She created infernal dramas for no reason and her intentions were always so confused. She is uncomfortably obsessed and an over-all terrible representation of our modern youth. Rachel clearly does not understand anything about what it is like to grow up or be in those situations. It would make me sick if I discovered that this character was in any way based off of a real person because whoever it is desperately needs psychological analysis. The style in which this book is written is disgustingly inept. It at some points wants to be a simple DOAWK style journal with occasional unrelated stories and instances that don’t necessarily contribute to the story, at other points it wants to act as a straight forward story, jam-packed with vomit-inducing stereotypes and archetypes which simply do not exist in the real world. Unfortunately for this heap of pandering vomit, it fails as a traditional, coherent story and as a DOAWK style journal. As I said earlier, DOAWK deviated occasionally from the story into little stories that were charming and delightful. When this book does it, it is simply cringe-worthy. Almost always, DOAWK would, even if it was minimal, bring these little stories so that they had at least something slightly to do with the story. In Dork Diaries, when it does little deviations, it is simply awful. It tries to tell these stories that, from what I can tell, are trying to exist in the realms of reality but are just painful to read the author stumbles through the text trying to be humorous. The worst of these little sub-stories was where our main character was going to swim class and, for some reason, adorns a floating pool toy to insure she will not sink when she swims, the device then, sadly, gets stuck to her waist and she is humiliated by her swim class. This story hurt me on levels that I had only felt when family-members died or when I watched terrorist acts on the television. And as I said earlier, this little sub-story has absolutely nothing to do with the overall story and it doesn’t even make very much sense that they are having a swim class in early February. I can imagine that many would think that I am not the intended demographic for this book and that is something I fully acknowledge. I had also stumbled across and read a Barbie book and a My Little Pony book and both of them, while I did not enjoy them; I acknowledged that, for their demographic, they were decent and harmless. I feel as though this book is actually harmful. Should any young girl look to this monster of a character and think that these actions are ok is terrifying. All of the advertisements of Dork Diaries feature a hip, cool, stylish girl and so do all of the dreadful pictures in the book and if they wanted to portray a flawed main character, her appearance would be far different. She is, most undeniably, the character that is meant to be related to and always feels justified in all of her acts and yet is filled with such wickedness. With Diary of a Wimpy kid, the cover and the illustrations portray a not very attractive, indifferent pre-teen who is, as soon as you see him, not a perfect guy. I am all for flawed main characters but, especially with children, when your mentally deranged protagonist is seen wearing trendy clothing and winking with an appearance of pure-self justification in all of the pictures in the book, it is simply terrible. Greg in DOAWK was obviously sometimes having some inner turmoil when he did something bad and if not, he did get in some sort of trouble for it. It showed that when you do bad things, there are going to be some unpleasant repercussions but with Nikki in Dork Diaries, she gets away with almost all of her wickedness, she doesn’t even learn any sort of lesson, she just keeps on prancing through her cutesy, fruity little world. I hate this book so much, I hope that if you have not read it, you do not.

Holiday Heartbreak is the sixth (yes, sixth!) book in the excellent Dork Diaries series. I'm not sure where the time's gone since book one was published, but Nikki's now getting very grown up and things finally seem to be progressing with her crush, Brandon. Yay!
In this book, Nikki is getting mixed messages from Brandon and, thanks to a not-so-handy magazine article, she thinks he doesn't like her. Of course, Queen Bee Mackenzie is interfering as per usual, leaving Nikki a bit confused. There's also a school dance where the girls have to ask the boys, which causes all kinds of anxiety among the students. Ah, adolescence; how I never wish to go back there!
Usually I find that after six books a series can become somewhat repetitive, but thankfully that isn't the case here. Each Dork Diaries book seems to be even better than the last one, with more drama and laughs than expected. I think Holiday Heartbreak is actually my favourite of the series so far, and if I had the next book I would have read it straight away!
Aimed at the 9+ age range, the Dork Diaries series is easily the best available for girls of that age. I really do love it and would have absolutely adored it when I was younger - funny books have always been a favourite of mine and they still are now. Dork Diaries is effortlessly entertaining, includes lots of drawings to compliment the text and should be on every girl's book shelf. Really, I think they should just be mandatory reading - Nikki Maxwell is a great character to read about and is the best Dork around!

I rated this book because it is like you having a connetion with the book and they understand how I feel or I understand how they feel.This book talks about a girl named Nikkei and she has two friends called Chole and zoey.They always hangout with each other and do everything together.soon Nikkei meets Brandon and becomes friends.on February 14 there was going to have a dance.Nikkei is sacred that Brandon will go out to the the sweetheart dance with Mackenzie(Nikkei's arch-nemesis).When Nikkei and Brandon go to crazy burger Nikkei asked Brandon to the dance and he says yes she was happy that Brandon was not going to the dance with Mackenzie.I learned in this book that not to worry so much and to all ways listen to everything or you will not be saying the truth.one thing I liked about this book that it teaches you a lesson and I will like if everyone will read it because it is a great book.

2.5* Believe it or not, this book is probably my least favorite in the series. The miscommunication and Nikki’s overreactions are frustrating and repetitive to say the least. Also I read the line:
“Brandon gave a crooked smile.”
…about 4 or 5 times. I’m not sure why, but that line specifically makes me cringe.
This series is too insane to be real.

February 3, 2014I just finished Dork Diaries #6.
Nikki hopes Brandon and her can go to the Sweet Heart Dance!
But with an embarrassing photo, texts, an enemy, worries, the flu, and a crazy little sister will this be the best night of Nikki's life?
I like how none of the characters change completely in this series. Nikki is still funny and dorky, Mackenzie is still rich and mean. No personalities change.
I sense this book will be hit because of the humor and creativity the author used.

The back and forth Nikki went through wondering if Brandon really liked her or not felt kind of repetitive and boring. Ending was funny and good though.

9/19/13- So far I have read up to page 46. Nikki, the main character, has swimming class.The problem is that she doesn't think she is a good swimmer. So, she searches through her little sister's old stuff and she finds a seahorse floatie and decides to wear it to swim class. She thought everyone would think she was cool wearing the floatie but everyone just stared at her and giggled.
9/20/13- I just read up to page 66 on my nook. Right now, Nikki wants to go to the sweetheart dance with her crush, a.k.a, one of her best friends named Brandon.She's too scared to go up to him and ask him to go to the sweetheart dance as her date so, being an artist, she draws a beautiful card asking him to the dance. Nikki tries to pass the note to Brandon during biology class but the note falls on the floor. Unfortunately for Nikki, the teacher sees the note and asks her to stay after class.
9/21/13- Right now I just finished reading up to page 90. So far in the book, Nikki is really mad at Brandon because he sent Nikki a message that was meant for Mackenzie, a.k.a, her arch enemy. And now Brandon keeps staring at Nikki as she walk in the hallways. I think Nikki feels a little creeped out by this so she just keeps on walking ignoring him. Later in the day, Brandon finds Nikki at the library studying and asks her, "Can we talk after we finish studying?" Nikki agrees. Brandon offers to help her put up the books on the shelf so this was a great time for them to talk. Brandon asks Nikki, " Do you want to go to Crazy Burger with me?" And she says, " Why not!" And in her head she says, " I can't wait to tell Chloe and Zoe!" But she really didn't have to wait because right then and there, their heads popped out of the bookshelves and they both said, "Hi...how ya doing!"
9/23/13- I've just finished the book. It ended on page 123. So, Nikki was freaking out because Brandon said yes to going to the dance with her. Then, Nikki started freaking out again because all the dresses were sold out. So, her mom told her to wear her seaweed green bridesmaid dress that made her look like a barfed out mermaid. In the end, she found her dress because her grandmother sent her one. As she was getting ready to leave for the dance, Brandon texts her telling her that he can't go to the dance because he has the flu. But Nikki decided to go to the dance with her bffs, Zoe and Chloe. Apparently, Brandon wasn't actually sick because HE WAS AT THE DANCE!!!!!!!!!! I felt really bad for Nikki. I can feel her pain. In the end, Brandon explained that he had lost his phone at a party and figured out that it was actually MacKenzie who took her phone. Now they decided to play a prank on her. Nikki texted Brandon's phone and wrote that she had left the Tiffany bracelet in the garbage can and that he should go get it for her. And then of course MacKenzie, who actually had the phone, went to the garbage can and looked for it herself. So, the joke was on Mackenzie she ended up in a garbage can with no diamond tiffany necklace.

Book : DORK DIARIES : Tales from a not so happy heartbreaker 💘
Author : @dorkdiaresofficial__ 🌸
Rating : ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The first book of this kind I read was Wimpy Kid and I almost completed all books in that series along with my younger sister, then I came across Dork Diaries and we both heard a sample from the 6th book from the series and loved it. We finished the whole book and was really happy.
When we read Wimpy kid, we were happy that it spoke about how we feel as school going kids, who worried like adults and perhaps dreamt like them. But that series was from a male point of view even though we could connect with it. Dork Diaries is from a girl's point of view that made both me & my sister closer to that character. I could related the book with my childhood & she could too I guess. We were very happy, I wish I can complete all books from the series! Even though you are not a teenager or school going kid, you will thoroughly enjoy this book, it's all what we have felt ins school days. There are Nikki's, Mackenzie's , Brandon's , Chloe's etc in real lives too. Suggested for all those who liked Wimpy Kid Series, it's similar to that but from a girl's point of view.

Book : DORK DIARIES : Tales from a not so happy heartbreaker 💘
Author : @dorkdiaresofficial__ 🌸
Rating : ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The first book of this kind I read was Wimpy Kid and I almost completed all books in that series along with my younger sister, then I came across Dork Diaries and we both heard a sample from the 6th book from the series and loved it. We finished the whole book and was really happy.
When we read Wimpy kid, we were happy that it spoke about how we feel as school going kids, who worried like adults and perhaps dreamt like them. But that series was from a male point of view even though we could connect with it. Dork Diaries is from a girl's point of view that made both me & my sister closer to that character. I could related the book with my childhood & she could too I guess. We were very happy, I wish I can complete all books from the series! Even though you are not a teenager or school going kid, you will thoroughly enjoy this book, it's all what we have felt ins school days. There are Nikki's, Mackenzie's , Brandon's , Chloe's etc in real lives too. Suggested for all those who liked Wimpy Kid Series, it's similar to that but from a girl's point of view.

It’s the biggest dance of the year and Nikki Maxwell is HOPING her crush, Brandon,to be her date. But time is running out. What if he doesn’t say yes? Or worse . . . what if he’s waiting for MacKenzie?!!
I pick this book is because when I was in elementary school I love this series and I always continue reading them. Also I know that Valentine is coming and this book is perfect for Valentine's Day because its about love.
I finish this book because this book show that life is full of surprise and unexpected thing CAN HAPPEN which reminded me of ME!!!!!
I recommend this book to Alex because this book is about LOVE and she is in LOVE right now!!

This book was really good. I have read all of the other ones more than twice each. I found the ending to be quite predictable and it also didn't made sense. I mean, why didn't Brandon tell Nikki he lost his phone? He said he never got time to tell her but he talked to her multiple times. He could have told her at crazy burger or something. Plus I knew by the texts coming from Brandon's phone that they were from Mackenzie. He would never say something that rude to Nikki! Plus in all of the other books Mackenzie always planed some scheme on Nikki to mess up her life.

OMG OMG OMG OMG I JUST FINISHED THIS BOOK AND I LOVED IT!! Aww I love Brandon and Nikki so much. I HOPE THEY KISSED IN THE END IT WAS PRACTICALLY FORESHADOWING IT!!! Omg I hate Mackenzie so much!! It's like Regina George in book form. SHE IS SO EVIL. And omg I will say Brandon DID annoy me in this book. With all that stuff and fighting going on, it was getting on my nerves!! I cannot wait to read the next book, even though it's already out. Hope to pick it up soon, must know answers!!!!! :D

Loved this book especially the ending. It has a great overall message of not giving up. Brandon started texting Nikki all these rude thins bit when Nikki asked him why it turns out that Brandon didn't send those messages. Mackenzie told Nikki that she asked him to the sweet heart dance . But Nikki didn't have the guts to ask him. I would recommend this book to people who enjoy drama and humor. Also one last thing is that this is personally one of my favorite books of all time. :)

This book was awesome!!! I can't believe how hard it was for Nikki to actually ask Brandon an important question (You have to read the book to know what the question was). And yes, I agree, this book was by far the the best!!!! When you see books with hearts on the front cover,get ready because it is going to be pretty tragic. I can't wait to read the next one.
