Nikki enjoys talking out with her best friends Chloe and Zoey and hanging out with her crush, Brandon. Between dealing with the popular fashion diva, Mackenzie or putting up with her annoying sister, Brianna, Nikki is always on the edge of losing it with them.

I just completed the book "Dork Diaries 8: Tales from a Not-So-Happily-Ever-After" by Rachel Renée Russell. I probably will still read the next book - if there is one. I tell myself it's because I need something to rant about, and I've already started the series, but really I have no reason. I don't know why I'm reading this series anymore.

Her friends are just cutouts with no distinct personality, and their lives hover around Nikki. Nikki is "not stuck-up at all", an opinion I'm sure is only shared by the fictional girl herself.
