Cute start to the series. It's very different from the movie, especially her grandmother. Try to wipe your mind before reading, because you aren't getting Julie Andrews here, folks.
In case you have no idea what this series is about, Mia finds out she is a princess. A real princess. Of a small country in Europe. She's dorky, and unpopular, and a bit weird, like most high school freshmen. And now this? Nothing but trouble.
This book will help you remember how awkward high school was. And then you can be glad you made it to adulthood.

The nostalgia of the Princess Diaries is not enough for me to see this as anything other than an average YA contemporary with an interesting premise.
I only recently found out these were books. Julie Andrews is an infinitely better Clarisse than the book version, but I can understand the appeal of Mia. She’s definitely not a bland Mary Sue character. And these books are surprisingly woke for being set somewhere in the early 2000s. Other than the very overused teenage-girl-with-a-terrible-self-esteem-and-has-noooo-idea-she-is-sooo-beautiful trope... that I could do without.
Although I really liked her monologue about how she doesn’t care if she IS beautiful, because she’d rather be smart.
