So much cuteness and happiness and it was so great to be back in Mia's head. Seriously, I missed that place. This was exactly what I wanted it to be. I loved all the cameos and pop culture references, and even references to previous books and whatnot. I'm just happy, really really happy with this book.
It's been a while since I've read one of the princess books so I was looking forward to this one since I enjoy Cabot's generally witty writing. Boy did I not get what I was hoping for. There wasn't much story here and what was here was narrated in Mia's increasingly bitter and negative tone. Here's a young woman who's a princess, has a boyfriend she loves, can do anything she chooses and yet every journal entry just sounds like she's whining. And I had a hard time believing that at this point in her princess "career" she hasn't figured things out and learned to make things work a little better. The goofs are no longer cute or even believable given how much practice she's had.
And the introduction of Olivia Grace strains credulity beyond what I could take. I had already read the kid's book told from Olivia's point of view, so at least there was that. But that Mia finds this fact out, her father hid another daughter for 12 years!, and really just come across as sounding a bit miffed? By this time she should be wondering if he's a bit of a sociopath the way he fathers daughters and then agrees to disappear from their lives.
All in all, a bummer. I suggest reading ROYAL WE for a better romantic royal tale.

I loved the Princess Diaries series when I was younger and was excited for this book to come out since it was marketed for adults. Unfortunately, I think it was still very teen/YA which was a bit disappointing. There was also SO MUCH going on! It seemed like every chapter had a new, life-shattering, issue. I think it would've been better to stretch it out into a few books, if Meg Cabot was really trying to tie up all the loose ends. That being said, I feel like these characters are old friends and it was nice to visit with them.
This was everything I ever wanted. I can't believe I once existed in a world where the Princess Diaries finished at book ten without this beautiful beautiful addition.
Too much to hope for more???

Loved it!!! Hope she decides to write another one!!!
Such a cute ending (?) to this series. I sort of grew up with this series and love Mia, she is pretty relatable and tries to be normal despite being a princess.
