This is part of the remedial reading program I teach, so I thought I'd pick it up and read through it. Immediately, I thought the diary structure, complete with a handwriting-type font, was inviting, but that's really where it stopped for me.
Although this is #2 in the Sunny series and #5 in the CA Diaries series, it seems to be a good stand-alone book. Sunny's having trouble with her mom in the hospital (with cancer), her dad becoming a workaholic at his book store, and her friends not making ti...more

I read this book multiple times growing up and it still amazes me how a writer can go from the bubbly Baby-Sitters Club series to a dark and mature book like this one. Sunny is on her way into a downward spiral and she gets as down and dirty one can go in a tween-aimed novel. Well written, shocking and heart-wrenching, it's a great read.
(Side note: As crazy as this sounds, I changed my own handwriting after reading this. Took me about a year, but that's just how I write now.)

I requested Sunny book 1 but the library sent me Sunny book 2. I think they have it listed incorrectly in their system. I was quite a ways into this book before I even realized I missed some books in between this and the first in the series. It was a good glimpse into how a 13 year old may react to a dying mother and an present, but yet absent, father.
Very nice book it teached me that every thing falls apart but new things will start again and better. life is hard but its also short and you half to make the best of if. thats what sunny is like in the book.
I'm reading this book, so far it's good. Ah, Sunny. She's so desperate for a normal life, that she doesn't even know what "normal" is anymore. Whenever I think of Sunny's mother I just feel like crying.

The California Diaries were interesting for me because I lived in California when I read them. Otherwise, they were boring, teenage drivel which held no interest for me. I didn't learn much from them... in fact I'd go so far as to say that they killed some of my brain cells. Lame. Not much else to say to them, really.
This was okay but not the best one.
I liked this series, but this is probably the only series where my ratings for the books have been all over the place. I didn't really like Sunny or Dawns diaries to much I like Duckys the best. So anyway I recommened this whole series.
