I don't think it's really fair for me to give this a star review. I happened to find this one lying around and, knowing it was a spin-off of BSC (which I loved when I was 8), I wanted to see how it was. But I'm well above the target audience. I was well above the target audience when it was originally published. So I don't feel like I can judge it as a book.

Whoa. This book is all about weight problems and Maggie's depression. I can see how she'd come to the point where she is, but it was not a pleasant read. But then she seemed to "fix" herself at the end which I feel is a poor ending as I do not think it's all that realistic.

The best book, in my opinion, in the whole series. Maggie is crashing and it's beautifully disastrous and I love the emotion within this book.

I read this book when I was in grade 7, I enjoyed it very much, loved reading about Maggie's life.

Maggie became anorexic in this one, it was written very well.
Amanda (Cirque Du Freak Freak)
This book was okay It got really annoying with Maggie saying all the time that she is fat. (which she is not)

I did like the California Diaries series, but several of the books including this one were kind of annoying, or more like severly annoying. This one was one of the more annoying books in this series but I guess the good books come with the bad books.
Brittany
I really enjoyed this whole series of books. (I'm a sucker for books written as diaries).
