Adolescence

The prom! The prom! The prom! No one cares about the prom, Mia!!!

I swear to goodness, Mia is by far the character I identify with most out of any book ever written, but we differ so greatly on the topic of the prom. My friends had to drag me to junior prom and I flat out skipped senior prom for a debate convention because hello, I'm a nerd, priorities! And Mia is over here planning her entire life around this one night that she thinks she'll treasure forever and I just don't get it. But hey, by book 10 she'll be over it and I'll relate again.

The audiobook reread continues. I've finally gotten over narrator's voice. ( )

I really enjoyed "The Princess Diaries, Princess in Pink" by Meg Cabot. This series is just so darn cute and fun to read. As a child of the 80's and a huge fan of Pretty in Pink and the prom... this book was right up my alley. Keep up the great work on this series. Can't wait to see what comes next for our favorite Princess and her friends and family.
Happy Reading...enjoy! ( )

I feel like all of the reviews for these books are starting to sound the same but again I really enjoyed this one. I still love that these are in the diary format, they are so easy to read and I love hearing the inner turmoil of Mia's thought process.

Mia is still her sarcastic, panic-ridden self and this time it is about the prom. Michael hasn't asked her yet and it is coming up very soon. To make matters worse, her grandmother continues to 'ruin' her life but being a very entitled woman and not understanding how a teenager's life works.

The messes that Mia's grandmother makes are hilarious and so over the top I love them. I think that the movie did us a great displeasure by making the grandmother likable. Had they kept to the books, I think it would have been far more funny to witness Mia get so flustered about her as she learns to be a princess.

These books fall one after the other and pick up where the last one ended so they are really just a continuation of Mia's diaries and so you don't miss a minute of her new life as both a teen and a princess with duties. I hope to grab the next one soon. ( )
