Sunny: Diary 2 by Ann M. Martin
1.0
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 time for her. She's floating around in her life, full of anger and angst, completely self-absorbed and not willing to give other people a thought about the troubles they're shouldering as well. Plus, she's fairly boy crazy, jumping from one guy to the next every dozen pages, and not caring how the previous guy felt. By page 30, I was bored beyond tears, but I kept pushing through, hoping the end would offer some kind of resolution or a wake-up call about her selfishness. I was disappointed, but I imagine there's a better resolution at the end of her "story" in the last book of the series. Too bad I'm not willing to read any more.
