Warning: You are about to read my utterly biggest secrets. Can I trust you? OK then. I’m Ella, and this is my diary.

Sleepover FAIL (Ella Diaries #28) by Meredith Costain follows Ella as she embarks on an exciting stay at her best friend Zoe’s house for a whole week. The girls are anticipating a perfect time together.
