Holiday Heartbreak is the sixth (yes, sixth!) book in the excellent Dork Diaries series. I'm not sure where the time's gone since book one was published, but Nikki's now getting very grown up and things finally seem to be progressing with her crush, Brandon. Yay! Nikki reveals that Chloe Garcia and Marcy Simms begged her to take over her Miss-Know-it-all column for a month, with a special Crush Crisis Love Advice column, so she did. She almost sent a letter to them, asking why love is such a cruddy thing.It’s the biggest dance of the year and it’s up to the girls to ask the boys. Nikki really wants to ask her crush, Brandon, but what if he says no? Major cringe! She was wearing fake diamond cat-eye glasses, a long scarf, four-sizes-too-big satin slippers, and a kiddie paint apron filled with Mom’s designer makeup collection. Never mind zat, dah-ling! You are Miss Bri-Bri’s next appointment! Wee! Wee! Come! Come!" she said, pushing me into her desk salon chair. Nikki is not looking forward to the floating skills swim test at school tomorrow and imagines an excuse note to get out of it. WHY did all of this have to happen just when Brandon and I were about to have our very first date-that-really-isn’t-a-date ?! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE let Brandon call me tomorrow!!
