From crushes to butterfly phobias to secret hidden blankies, theres never been a secret they couldnt share. Charli even showed Alex the supersecret hiding spot for her diary. But when school starts and Charli learns that Alex has betrayed her by sharing her biggest, most secretest secret, she realizes that maybe her bestie isnt so great after all.
Meanwhile, Alex has no idea what he's done wrong. He doesnt know why Charlis not talking to him. He has no choice (right RIGHT) but to take her diary and try to correct the record. Theres always two sides to the truthespecially in fifth grade.
