Della has been in love with Dan Bailey ever since he lent her his brand new crayons on their first day in primary school. That was 11 years ago and it was the only interaction they ever had.
She knows that she must muster up the courage to at least have a real conversation with him at a party thrown for her elder sister, who is going away to California to work for the summer. All dressed up and with the encouragement of her best friend, Maddy, Della hits it off with Dan who then asks her out on a date.
Now that Dan is finally taking notice of her, Della feels utter blissfulness. However, she discovers that her diary is missing and she can’t figure out who took it. What’s worse, all her innermost secrets and thoughts are in that diary.
To add to her shock and embarrassment, someone sends entries from her diary to her, Maddy, Dan and even her parents! Now who would do such a thing to her?
Even the title, Della Says: OMG!
‘Not exactly dancing. You walk like there’s music in your head.’
I don’t know if it’s the right line to use to a girl but it worked for Della.
Apart from Della exploring her new relationship with Dan, I was also interested in the tricky love triangle situation in which Maddy is involved. Maddy already has a boyfriend but she is attracted to his best friend.

. I so need a break from vampires though I don’t mind watching them.
Janie, 17, is different from other teenagers. When somebody falls asleep around her, she’ll be involuntarily sucked into their dreams. This is why she could never get much sleep if she participates in sleepovers and she dreads if sleepy classmates doze off in class.
was going pretty well in the beginning. I liked how the relationship developed between Janie and Cable. But it was a bit confusing when he started going out with another girl, right after he ‘broke off’ with Janie. He kept sending her ‘sorry’ notes though.

This is the first time I’m reviewing a book I did not finish reading. I thought I might just stay focused and continue till the last page but no, I couldn’t. Life is short and I’m not going to waste precious time reading something I do not enjoy.
and 
. I just read the excerpt of Book I – Mina on Amazon and noticed that there have been changes in the writing. It’s good to know that readers wouldn’t have to suffer from the grammar and punctuation errors like those in my copy. Another thing that put me off was the thickness of the book but then, it was before it was split.
