i love this series but this finale was very lazy if i’m honest
I just read another review of this book where someone said that it was written with the sole intention of introducing Olivia as the newly-discovered princess for the new series, and I completely agree. She's a cute character and I imagine the series will be great, but this book really stinks. Everything about it felt forced - especially towards the end. The ending was so rushed!! Bleh, I'm disappointed.
This was amazing and hilarious and I expect nothing less from Meg Cabot. Add in epic amounts of nostalgia and it just might be one of my favorite books of 2015.
I loved the Princess Diaries serious when I was younger, and was excited for a new book to come out. I listened to the audiobook and was very disappointed that the last 20 minutes of it was the last "entry" which was really the only main part about the wedding. The title of the book leads you to think that you are in fact going to read about a royal wedding, when that was only about 10% of the book. The ending was completely rushed and it made me feel like Meg Cabot only wrote the book because she wanted to write something quickly and she didn't put much into it. I'm pretty disappointed. She should have left well enough alone.

Reading this made me realise how much Meg Cabot's writing has influenced not only my writing over the past 10 years but my inner monologue. Even though this final (I assume?) instalment was technically adult fiction it still screams teen chick lit to me because this was the first young adult series I got into when I started almost a decade ago (?!?!?). Meg Cabot will always have a special place in my heart but she is too easy to read and I should really be challenging myself a little more than I was at nine years old... Still, very pleased that Mia and Michael are still happy and Genovia is in good hands!
First adult Princess Diaries book. I liked the transition and that she still sounded like my favorite princess, Mia.

This is the final season that you pretend doesn’t exist because the show was so much better without it.
I love The Princess Diaries. I *adore* it. It was maybe the only series I read growing up that I stuck with to (what I thought was) the end, because it actually gave me something worth sticking with every step of the way. And Mia taught me so much about myself over the years.
Which is why this last (please, let it be the last) book feels like such a betrayal.
Why did we need this book? If it was meant to be a nice little happy ending with a fluffy wedding plot, well, where the hell was the wedding? Where was the fluffy sweet romance?? Why is 26-year-old Mia literally redacting swear words and only talking about sex in awkward euphemisms in her own diary, and even with her own fiancé/partner of 8 years?
It is *hard* to write a story about long-running beloved characters with an 8-year gap in between volumes, especially when those 8 years constitute essentially the main love interests’ entire relationship AND include the main character’s entire college experience. It is so hard, in fact, that I don’t think it should be done. If an appropriate amount of growth had happened, Mia would read like a very different person from where we last left her. But that’s bad for continuity, so instead she reads like she’s still 18. And it’s painful to experience for anyone who ever loved her. Mia, at the very least, would be using the singular “they” in 2015 instead of “he or she”, and she would *not* talk about “traveling to Africa” as if she couldn’t be bothered to remember the name of the country she visited.
This doesn’t even begin to cover the out-of-character and rushed romance we get in the last few pages, or the bizarro Olivia subplot, or the kind of alarming offhandedness of the, shall we say, plot twist also shoved into the last 20% of the story.
I really do want to pretend this book doesn’t exist. I want to keep the end of the 10th book in my head as the final images of this series, because I feel like we already had our promises of a happily-ever-after. We did not need and, frankly, did not deserve this destruction of a beautiful thing.
