Either her life is moving along so fast that she speeds through five weeks in less than a page and I can’t keep track of anything, or she’s spending six pages describing how anxious she is when she’s looking at her crush. It got kind of tedious at times, and here’s why I say that. Guess what the next scene is?-Cleaning the house of another enemy. Oh no! She’s cleaning Briana Riley’s house, her absolute nemesis.

The plot of this book was five hundred percent predictable, super repetitive, and rather annoying. They interact no differently than fourth or third graders. Okay, then why does she still act and speak like a third-grader? I mean, for goodness’ sakes, Holy avacado dip? Not that I’m in favor of characters actually swearing-because I’m not-but when an 8th grader says things like “Holy mango sorbet,” you get the feeling she’s more than a bit juvenile for her age. All of the characters in this book are this way, actually. And when her crush offers to pay her to spy on his girlfriend, Rachel has to decide if she’s willing to get her hands dirty… (Take from Goodreads) Her formerly boring diary is now filled with juicy secrets. As maid to some of the most popular kids in school, Rachel suddenly has all the dirt on the 8th grade in-crowd. After all, becoming a maid is definitely not going to help her already loserish reputation.īut Rachel picks up more than smelly socks on the job. Which is even worse than working for her mother’s new cleaning business. But she kinda, sorta stole $287.22 from her college fund that she’s got to pay back ASAP or her mom will ground her for life. Rachel can’t believe she has to give up her Saturdays to scrubbing other people’s toilets. WANTED: Maid for the most popular kids in 8th grade.Ĭleaning up after the in-crowd gets Rachel all the best dirt.
