"I'm really not sure I believe it's a real diary, or maybe I just never had such strong feelings toward pleasing my parents. But the change in her "diary" is very drastic after her father leaves. She's looking for a male role model and finds it in a very wrong place. It's a great cautionary tale to watch out for predators. They do exist and be careful. I suppose."
"This book was okay. I didn't like it as much because Jennie has so much in her life, and she complains a lot, and has a relationship with her teacher because she thought he understood her. He was just a perv."
"There's a whole bunch of these Beatrice Sparks PhD books...in each one something (or, actually, a ton of random) horrible things happen to a teenage girl. The plot of this one involves a decline into boinking the math teacher and vicodin addction after the main character's parents get divorced. The series is told in "based on a real diary" form, and here is where I think I should mention that the author's claim to fame is that she was the "editor" of Go Ask Alice. Now, I really like Go Ask Alice, but these are a few steps down from Alice when it comes to quality writing. There's a lot of filler. And I don't know who would believe this is a diary. The foreshadowing is laid on thicker than I knew was possible.
But seriously, if I were 11, I would gobble these up. Fast paced and wholly scandalous! But because I'm actually in my late 20's, I'm laughing at this book, not with it."
"Jennie the protagonist is suffering from her father's walk out, her mother's addiction in pills. As well as her friends chose boyfriend over her. As time goes by she falls in loved with her substitute math teacher, Mr. Johnstone. She thinks he is funny, supportive and buys her gifts. Slowly their relationship moved beyond school and Jennie records her loneliness, insecurity and confusion about Mr. Johnstone in her diary. Jennie's relationship between Mr. Johnstone is can treacherous love because it is against tradition and is hidden scretly."
