I've never seen any stats on readership demographics but among my friends if they have teenage daughters (LDS or not) then they have all heard of it. For example, a non-Mormon female colleague whose also a finance professor has read the series (her opinion of it was similar to mine). Why did she read it? Because she has 12 year old daughters. Among teenage girls who like to read (smarter than average girls), this book seems to be very popular. In my neck of the woods woman (most fairly highly educated) with teenage or preteen daughters read the series so that they know what the kids are reading, etc. etc.
I have no Idea how well this profile generalizes.
