" Oh girls, most of the time in life, people rescue themselves. You can't expect to be sleeping beauty or Cinderella awaiting for a prince to come along and change your life."

WELL let's have a moment here!
I am a big fan of middle-grade books like they're my favorite(?) But when I read the first chapter of this book like 4 years ago or so, I didn't like it and it's been on my tbr like forever until I decided I have to read this book rn. And to be honest it surprised me how much I LOVED it.

All the characters are just freaking heart-warming MYGOD I only spent like 2 days with them and I am already missing by now.

The book's basically talking about Dinah and her life as a sixth grade student with all the adventures and daily life situations with all her friends and the "hate" she has towards Nick. This books is just cute.♡

I am a happy kid now.

Cute little love story about Dinah--a girl that does NOT like boys.
