I liked of when Nikki had a nigtmare about her party because it was funny and it made me exaggerated. Meanwhile her rascal little sister Brianna becomes obsessed with baking and even starts up a little dog treat business with Nikki's help as it benefits her and funds her dream as we discover! I had really low expectations, compared to how much I squealed when they revealed the last book's cover. What I feel is that in this book, Andrea might develop a crush on Nikki 😋and this might lead to a grudge between Brandon and him. An like with her first 7 books and the 9th book I feel like Russell did great with them and everything was amazing but.Nikki asks her mom if she can have the party, but her mom says that she planned a 100 dollar party, which is way cheaper. Yet again another great Dork diary book comes out and it's a great read when I have nothing to read. If a teacher wants their students to start writing about their days in a journal or diary, this could introduce the concept for them. Her invitations really caused a whole part to how she must have a birth day party and her friends always interupt.

Nikki finally gets the courage to ask her mom for the money, but after hearing how much is needed, her mom replies “No Way! It sort of made me wish I had written diary entries when I was the character’s age because what she viewed as OMG!In Part 2, Nikki and her BFFs Chloe and Zoey read a party planning book for really cool birthday party ideas. But of course, she switched to the band and I couldn't help thinking that was the illustrator chickening out of drawing a tourist attraction outside of the Eiffel Tower. Chloe, Zoey and Brandon have proven their loyalty time and time again, yet Nikki still questions their friendship and deliberately keeps things from them. Throughout this story there are pictures and doodles that make the writing appear to be the diary of Nikki's that is talking all about her birthday party planning and execution. If Nikki and her friends made it through a book without miscommunication causing all sorts of problems I’d be shocked.

two stars because this book felt repetitive and some things made me dislike Nikki even more as a spoiled, self-centered person. But, when she tries to explain to her best friends, Zoeysha Franklin and Chloe Garcia, that she can't have a birthday, they think she wants to have a pool party, and Chloe and Zoey get so excited that Nikki can't say no to the party. And I can see Nikki does kind of whine and doesn't exactly solve her problems like I would or some others might.Her friends, Chloe and Zoey, come over to help Nikki plan her party and decide on the theme she wants. I mean half the pages were just pictures so you could at least try a little harder on the few parts that were actual writing.
