I don't get why people hate this book. I think the Ugly Truth is one of my favorite Diary of a wimpy kid books because I like the plot of Gregory becoming older (plus he's a simp) and I got the experience of what Greg's life is like without his friend Rowley for a couple of weeks, see how Greg can handle himself being older, having more responsibilities and seeing a bit about his family and his uncle's wedding. I can also relate to this because I'm the oldest of 4 siblings and 3 brothers and this book reminds me of 5 to 6 years ago. I may have to place this book in number 2. My favorite book among the entire series is Cabin Fever but I think the ugly truth should also deserve this awesome price as well. It's also one of the first books in the series that I've read before. 10 out of 10!
