Oh Mia... As I mentioned in my last review.. it's during this stage that I have to give these books 4 stages instead of 5 because of how annoying Mia can get. She's only 15.. I get it. It's just a bit harder to read now that I'm older. Still really enjoyed it and it definitely made me laugh! Really wanting to speed through rereading the rest so I can read A Royal Wedding when it comes out!!
The student council race between Mia and Lana was highly entertaining and reminiscent of high school elections, but I hated Lilly's role in it. Who does she think she is, expecting Mia to get elected then just hand Lilly the position, without even revealing her plan until the last second? I also lost a lot of respect for Michael in this book. He may not have directly pressured her to start sleeping with him, but saying things like "I won't wait forever" and expecting to have a monthly "sex readiness" check in is cringey at best and predatory at worst considering he's in college and Mia is still only 15. Hopefully things will get better in the next book.
Great book, but i honestly think Mia is a little weird. One, she doesn't take constructive criticism very well. (Who freaks out over a b?) Two, she has attention issues. She doesn't pay attention in class because of the mostly trivial problems in her life. I mean, i get that she should be worried about the snail thing, but should she stop listening in class because her boyfriend wants to have sex- someday? And she seems slow, not realizing that she has a hotel suite to herself with no supervision, and doesn't consider inviting her boyfriend over. They didn't even have to do IT. Overall, i just think she's weird. And yea, yea, i know it's just a book but seriously? Like i said, all the other aspects of the book are fine but i'm not really liking the main character herself. 3/5 though.
I just re-started this series and I forgot how good it is. The continued adventures of Princess Mia- now that Michael is at college. Addresses some big topics for teenagers and that's really important.
Still fun, still nostalgic, still dripping with early aughts high school drama.
I can’t believe Mia proved actual marine biologists wrong, that was probably the most unrealistic part of the book.
Mia is definitely still pretty annoying, but at least she’s starting to come into her own as a princess. The snails incident and her student council president speech proved that. (I am annoyed that Ms. Martinez ended up apologizing to Mia in the end tho. The woman was CORRECT. Mia does need some discipline in her writing. And a B isn’t even a bad grade! Mia keeps talking about becoming a great writer one day, but the second someone actually tries to bring that about, she throws a tantrum.)
Lilly continues to annoy the crap out of me, and Tina continues to be great, if a little naïve at times.
It’s kinda weird that a college freshman is dating someone who isn’t even close to graduating high school yet, but Michael is still such a great guy. He’s chill and respectful and honest.
Overall this installment was more of the same for this series, but it’s no surprise they’re kind of formulaic. They stay consistently good, if a little over-the-top on occasion.

Mia is back from her summer in Genovia, where she caused quite a stir with her environmental actions. Now that she's back home, she's starting sophomore year and must face a new challenge - Geometry. School is different without her boyfriend Michael, who is in college across town. Also, Mia's best friend Lily nominated her for student council president (against her will), and now Lily and Grandmere are working together on Mia's campaign strategy. These problems all seem minor, though, when Lana tells Mia that college boys expect their girlfriends to (gasp) DO IT! How much more can a princess take?
This was my favorite so far in the series. I think Mia is growing up a little and starting to stand up for herself more. Of course there's a lot of time spent on Mia obsessing about her problems, but for some reason it was less annoying in this book than in the others. I look forward to the next installment!

Please, can we not use the term “borderline personality disorder” so flippantly and inappropriately?
I feel like Rocky’s new existence in this book has helped Mia have a little more perspective! The speech at the debate was so triumphant, I loved it.
