A fun, easy read. Mia has good sense of humor and acts like your typical teenager. The story is different enough from the movie to be able to feel like your reading a whole new story.
This was pretty cute. I never read the series when they came out. But I needed a light, easy, sadness free book and this fit perfectly.

It’s never too late to read the book you didn’t as a teen. Definitely funny to read such a young perspective but also wasn’t expecting some of the more mature topics in Mia’s viewpoint.
Hoping I can get through the younger years so I can make it to the adult books in the series.

I listened to the audio version of this book. Mia is your average awkward high schooler, with a couple close friends who are just as quirky and a crush on a boy who probably doesn’t know her name. Then she finds out she is the only heir to the Genovian crown, and her life is immediately changed. This was a quick and easy fun listening experience. Some of it is a little hard to grasp since most of it comes straight out of Mia’s journal, which might be better to read than to listen to. But I still enjoyed it. I knew most of the story since I’ve seen the movie, but for once I think I like some of the stuff the movie did better than the book! I love that the movie takes place in San Francisco, not Manhattan, in my opinion a better city (I’m not biased at all). Also, with Julie Andrews play grandmére you can’t not like her, in the book you never really like grandmére, but I love the way Julie Andrews portrayed her as more of a grandmotherly figure. I think this is a must read for young teenage girls, it’s just a fun story that is well written. It’s also a good read if you like girly young adult books (which apparently I do). As an adult reading it, it’s not a bad read, very well written, but you will probably read it in a day.
