It was an ok book but It got a little dull at parts. I didn't like it as much as the first two.
Excellent book, in almost new condition. Read once.

My personal Rating- Three Stars
{ Lowered ratings for mentions of Lucys parents arguing & separated a few years prior. Depends on your Familys opinion on certain things.}
To compare the first three book in the Hidden Diary series, Just Between Friends would probably be my favorite one, by just a little bit. Manly because I loved the part when its mentioned that the Kingsley family is hoping to adopt from Chinawhich if youre been reading my blog for a while, youll know that thats a country near to my heart. :)
The Older High School Teens rating is lower because this whole series is fluffy, it's good if youre looking for a not-depth read.
