Worth the wait! Nice to have read about the characters (especially about Michael and Mia) and how they are doing, years later -- where their current life situations seem plausible, after last hearing from them.

Not to critic but to let out my thoughts on the book.
Basically, the tenth book was an ending for the series, and everything was tied up nicely in clean, romantic bows.
I think Royal Wedding was presented with the challenge of introducing Mia's new problems and solving most of them by the end of the book as well.
Mia had a lot of dilemmas that Meg had to fit in 400+ pages without seeming too crowded, so kudos to Meg on that!
P.S. Alternative title should be: How can Michael Moscovitz be more perfect?

For a while the tenth installment of the Princess Diaries was my favorite book. I was really excited that this one was coming out, but after reading it, I was really quite disappointed. I think the plot was weak and flat, and there isn't sufficient change since the last book. You would think Mia would have a different set of problems but it really kind of all sounds the same. Spoliers.
Also, there were a few plot points that were sort of offensive. Mia says she went to Africa and saw some sad, horrible stuff, as if Africa is a country and as if everyone there is poor and lives in a boxspring mattress.
There are also some sad attempts to bring the idea of feminism into the story but it was very reductionist, which surprised me and saddened me.
I think a lot of it was just "remember Paolo, Sebastiano, and Grandmere and how weird they all are?" and then left it at that. But, Michael was as always a nice, fun part of the story. His an Mia's relationship was basically the only part of the book I liked, which is why it has 2 stars. I don't really recommend it.

I feel so accomplished to have completed this whole series. That was definitely a great way to end it and took a turn that wasn't completely perfect which I'm glad about since everything always seemed to always go Mia's way.
Let's start off with, I really hope that [a:Meg Cabot|11654|Meg Cabot|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1532640822p2/11654.jpg] writes more Princess Diaries books (okay, I have yet to read [b:From the Notebooks of a Middle School Princess|22718809|From the Notebooks of a Middle School Princess (From the Notebooks of a Middle School Princess, #1)|Meg Cabot|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1412881103l/22718809._SY75_.jpg|41355523], which is a spin off, and I'm sure I'll love Olivia, but I want more MIA).
This book is the only book is in the series that is for adult audiences (but hopefully not the last!). It serves as a much better ending than [b:Forever Princess|3474186|Forever Princess (The Princess Diaries, #10)|Meg Cabot|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1347807104l/3474186._SX50_.jpg|3515492]. We get to see more of what the characters are up to after high school and how their lives turn out.
Unfortunately, there is a bit of predictability that's written off as foreshadowing. The Big News, for instance, is something I totally saw coming from a throwaway "Note to Self". I think Mia's reaction to it was a little underwhelming, but then again, she's 26 in this book, so of course she's calmed down since high school.
Still, I loved it. It's so nice to see Mia and Michael really together without other things getting in the way. It's nice to see them play together, something we rarely get to see in the YA books.
But be warned: this is not a YA book. It's not erotica either, but Mia's matured about sex and, while nothing is in details, there are a lot of jokes about sex and the games that Mia and Michael play. So if you read this book expecting the High School Shenanigans, you'll have to readjust your thinking about 4 pages in.
