Summary: 5 Stars
This book, Sunny diary 1, was a good book. It was interesting. but what applealed 2 me most was that sunny and her life are SO MUCH LIKE ME AND MY LIFE!!!!!! It was scary. Here are some similarities:

>Sunny's dad owns a bookstore. My dad owns a bookstore.

>Sunny forges a note from her doctor explaining why she's been missing school. I forge notes saying why i've been away, nearly every day.
>Sunny goes to the beach when she skips school. I go to the beach mostly when i skip school.
>Sunny's last name is Winslow. My last name is Winslew.
>Sunny's mom is terminaly ill w/ lung cancer. my mom is terminally ill n'may die soon with a rare lung disease.
>Sunny wears black clothes now that she's become a rebel coz her moms so sick. Ever since i found out my mom is gonna die, i've been wearing punk clothes.

>Sunny hangs out w/ older guys now. I've dated older guys (some aged 18/19) since the age of 12 when i 1st found out bout my mom.
>Sunny's dad yells at her all the time. MY dad can't stop yelling.
>Sunny's best friend Dawn doesn't understand Sunnys situation very much. My exbest friend Dana didn't undertand my situattion at all. that was why we stoped being friends.
>Sunny has dorky teachers. Like Mr Hackett) I have really dorky teachers (when i go 2 school) My english teacher is just like mrhackett. his name is Mr. Lasacket.
>Sunny got drunk in Dawn #1. I get drunk all the time.
SO MANY And all of this was b4 i read this book or Dawn #1. AMAZING> it was like i was reading 1 of my own diarie. HONESTLY I THINK ANNE MARTIN RESEARCHED my LIFE AND SPILED IT IN SUNNYs DIARYs. The book was totally bout me. scary. freaky-deaky man!!!!!!
so i could relate 2 her problmes cos they were almost the same as mine but i think even pepul who dont have the same or similar problems could relate cos sunny is a very ALIVE and RICH caracter. (not rich as in money)
