Oh, the life of a teenager. So many ups and downs, twists and turns. This is the third volume in the Amy’s Diary series. The graphics are bright and engaging, drawing into the story along with the dialogue. The color scheme used invites you into the “teenage world”. As a typical teenager, Amy is experiencing issues with her current boyfriend, her ex-boyfriend and her BFF, Kat. She is attempting to juggle all of these relationships along with everything else that is going on in her life. Amy is a good-natured character and pretty much rolls with the flow. This is an enjoyable read that is charming and upbeat. If you are looking for a serious read, this is not for you. However, if you want a light easy read that is authentic, grab hold of this one. Thank you to NetGalley, the author and publisher for the opportunity to review this book.

It was a lot of fun reading Amy’s Diary: Moving On. For once, life seemed to be going smoothly for Amy. She had new friends, and a great boyfriend. Yet life for her usually doesn’t stay this way for long, and this tale was no exception. Her best friend is being left out, and her ex still has feelings for her. The big kicker is when she gets told they are moving to a new home. If you enjoyed the last 2 volumes then this is one you will want to read.

Best friends, boyfriends, popularity, secrets, exes, and the only constant in the life of a young student: change. While I haven’t read the novels this series is based on, the book stands well on its own and takes advantage of the comics format to pull the reader in.

Amy's Diary #3 is a super cute and entertaining graphic novel. It was a fun read that young adults would enjoy. The illustrations were great too!

This comic book/graphic novel was super cute. I imagine that my daughter will relate very well to it. The story is about Amy and her friend Kat. Kat has made new friends, leaving Amy alone. Amy is also dealing with her mom's relationship with her boyfriend, and a relationship of her own..

The illustrations were very cute.

I enjoy reading graphic novels and this book is no exception, it was easy to follow and the way characters were drawn is appealing (although red eyes sometimes looked creepy).
I would say the Amy's life story is very relatable to those who are still in middle or high school, boys, first kiss, fight with a best friend is something I experienced when I was her age. This is the kind of book you want to pick up when your brain needs to decompress. Overall, I enjoyed reading this novel.

I struggled with the reading of Amy's Diary. The font was really loopy, so at times it was almost the greatest barrier in the story. In my opinion, a redesign of the font would be a huge benefit for this graphic novel. I love the thought behind the idea that they wanted the text to look handwritten. However, this text was just super difficult to get used too.

Since I've been reading a lot of graphic novels lately, I've come to appreciate the easy to read format and detailed art.

Amy's Diary was a completely different genre compared to the other graphic novels I've been reading, and I was counting on it to be entertaining and cute, which the book fully delivered.

The art was cutesy and the characters were interesting. The premise, while enjoyable, was a fairly over used one.

While I had fun reading this book, I kept finding Amy's narrative a little whiny. I understand that that is how we all sound at fourteen, but perhaps it would be better suited for readers in that age group too.

Amy is an amusing, obnoxious, silly, funny teenage girl. This little comic / graphic novel was a fun read and felt very true to real girls. The illustrations are bright and joyful. The characters are each distinct from each other and the settings feel true to Amy and her friends.

In this third book of the series Amy has a short separation from her best friend Kat, after Amy ignores Kat while spending her time with a new set of friends. While Amy continues to obsess over Nick, she also has a relationship with a new boy. Her mom is buying a new home with her boyfriend and Amy obtains and then loses a job. This girl has a lot happening! Amy is a very normal girl who is bright and kind. She is struggling to deal with all the issues of teenage life. And her grace -- and sometimes her lack of it -- feels relatable. This was a sweet and charming book that I would gladly give to a pre-teen girl.

Amy’s Diary was really well done. I love the art and the writing. It’s fine and cute and really captures what a girls dairy would look like in high school. This is book three but it’s the first book I’ve read. I will definitely pick up
The other books and recommend this to friends. I really enjoyed amu and her crazy love life, her mom and Frank, and her friends Kay, jk, and tommy. I love how she captured friendships in high school, especially with kat.

Everyone in one way or another can relate to Amy and her struggles with teen hood. She now has a new boyfriend, her popularity at school has grown and now she encounters her best friend afraid of betrayal and her ex-boyfriend Nick still having strong feelings for her. After that wasn't enough, she finds out that her mom and her are moving in with her mom's fiancee and now EVERYTHING will change. This book was so brilliantly hysterical with very creative illustrations. A lot of our young readers will be interested in not only this book but in this series altogether.

We will consider adding this title to our JFiction collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.

I really liked this book. It’s completely different than anything I typically read and it was a really nice surprise. Really cute storyline and illustrations. It was a fun and light-hearted read that had me laughing and really just enjoying this character.

Fun, energetic, and colorful — this is a graphic novel that has moments of extended prose. Ideal for readers young and old...and, I’ll say it again, fun!

Amy Continues to Amaze and Delight

This is the third volume in the "Amy's Diary" series. These books are graphic adaptations, engagingly written by Veronique Grisseaux and brightly illustrated by Laetitia Aynie, of the novels originally written by India Desjardins.

This time around Amy begins to lose her connection to Kat, her BFF, as Amy starts to pal around with a new set of friends. As always Amy's heart is torn over her feelings for Nick. Mom and Frank have decided to move in together, and have a bought a new house, which requires a move by Amy. Lots going on. And that overlooks the disastrous job at the sandwich shop.

This isn't earthshaking stuff, but that's sort of the point. Amy is a decent, sensitive, bright, well-intentioned teen girl who has to face and deal with the unending series of ups and downs and surprises and pitfalls that add up life. Amy moves on with aplomb, but also always as a relatable, engaging, and fundamentally decent and good-humored character. I don't enjoy these books for their deep philosophy or profound life guidance. I like and admire them because they are authentic, touching, charming, and ultimately upbeat and life affirming. What more could one want?
