I LOVE IT! {{fan girling everywhere}}
I will probably write a real blog post about this book at some point. It helped remind me how much the Princess Diaries series meant to me growing up and even now.

It read exactly like a Princess Diaries book. Definitely misleading to categorize this as an "adult" book - it definitely read, at best, at new adult, but it didn't deal with anything beyond high school level content or maturity. I liked it - wasn't earth shattering.
Kan inte fatta att boken är slut... Jag har lite kritik dock, men det är ju Princess Diaries så kan ju inte annat än att älska den. <3
medium-paced
The Princess Diaries books are/were very special for me. It's one of the series that taught me that books can be funny and main characters can be flawed.
"Royal Wedding" made a great addition to the Princess Diaries lineup. Mia is now all grown up, dealing with paparazzi at every turn while still trying to have a career (she is involved with several charities) and something of a love and social life.
I love that writer Mag Cabot keeps Mia's voice pure and loyal to the established character, keeping many of her lovable quirks, while maturing the character into a grown up. Really well done.
It made me laugh. It made me tear up. (To be fair, I'm getting married in 2.5 months so basically everything wedding-related makes me well up.) Loved seeing how her friends and family have developed too. As expected, Grandmére is still the same. Thank goodness.
Also, I'm so glad that this book doesn't appear to be a one-off, as it's Princess Diaries #11. And seriously, who would leave a book series at ELEVEN books? Especially when we're about to see Mia move to Genovia. I can't wait to see her bein' a badass boss.
Meg Cabot is still the queen of fun fiction and Mia is still fantastic.

YEEEESSSSSS!
So, I'm a 20 year old. I lived off the Princess Diaries when I was a kid so this book was an insta-love thing for me. As with all the Princess Diaries series this is narrated through Princess Mia's diaries, and she is still as witty as always, even with a royal wedding to plan (and a surprise later in the book! Eep!) Due to the characters themselves being older this book appeals to older fans of the series, but the simplistic writing means teenage fans can still read it - it is still part of the series as a whole.
One thing that disappointed me with this book is the death of Frank Gianini, maybe I missed that happening in the series itself because I haven't read the later books, but this upset me. I also missed Lily constantly, but again I'll have to catch up in order to know why she wasn't as present aside from her being at law school.
There is possibility of a new book at the end of this, and I hope Meg Cabot snaps up that opportunity cause let's be real. We all need this in our lives.
I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.

I did not particularly enjoy this. I probably shouldn't have bothered reading it in the first place - I never read all of the princess diaries novels, and the ones I did read I read so long ago as to not really remember them. But I found Mia annoying and probably should have just reread "The Royal We" instead.
So... Mia has grown up a bit & I think that makes her a much more tolerable heroine. When I was younger I had the whole series (with the exception of the 10th book) & while I liked them I was pretty much always annoyed with Mia.
Of course there was a lot more sex references in this book. Michael (of course she marries Michael, did you expect anyone else?) is 29 & Mia is (just) 26. I didn't remember there being such a wide age gap. I mean, 3 years is basically nothing when at this point but in high school 3 years is A LOT! And Michael & Mia have quite a bit if sex. It's actually a much more seemingly healthy book. In the originals she rarely mentioned sex (except for the last book) & while I know they were "keeping it clean" for the reading age it didn't seem too normal that a teenage girl wouldn't talk about sex in her diary
Anyway, the book wrapped up POST wedding (only just) even though you don't really see any of the planning or the actual wedding in the book. It's mentioned, briefly, but since it's still epistolary style she couldn't very well write while getting married. Personally, I think the style should have been dropped for this more adult novel. I've never really been a fan of the epistolary style to begin with. Most of the book deals with the discovery of a new secret sister. A new princess. I wonder if we are going to get a whole new series from Olivia's POV, it'd be quite different since she's be with her father full time, she was (somewhat) an orphan before & now she's royal. She's growing up not only royal but they move her to Genovia & into a palace & her big sister is now the ruler. It'd be a much different read than Mia's diaries
I also wonder if we'd get another novel out of Mia since she now is ruler (in name only) if Genovia & is pregnant with twins & married to Michael. Something like Princess Mommy or something, I don't know. Maybe.
I liked it, but I'll admit that a great deal of my affection for the book (and reasoning in buying it) was simply nostalgia.

Soo, I just couldn't wait till they translated it to Hungarian (which is supposed to be ready by October) I took the plunge and bought it. So this is the first one I read in original and it was A-MA-ZING as expected. I am, by all means a pop culture consumer, I get my news from BuzzFeed just like Grandmére (apparently) and I read books like the Princess Diaries. I know, I know, shame on me!
Mia, just like me, had grown up a little, although I barely started university. Still, I was able to relate to her. That's the secret with her character, I think. She is, in fact, just like a normal person, who happens to be a monarch of a fictional country on the French Riviera. Meg Cabot has a wonderful way of expressing herself. She understands people to great extent, even though she says Mia is much like her, I also believe that not only our princess, but other characters like Tina, Michael and Lilly are very well written. I adore reading the books, because it's so honest. It really is like reading someone's diary, in which they write like they talk to their greatest confidant, their best friend. It might not be the beautifully constructed sentences of Jane Austen or anyone of the era, but it makes me happy.
The story is exciting because finally, Mia and Michael are getting married but obstacles come around. It hopefully is not such a spoiler, because of the other novel Meg Cabot published earlier this year, that we get to see a little of Mia's half-sister, Olivia. This puts and interesting twist on the story, though does not consume the entire book.
maybe this review doesn't make much sense, as it is written at 1am but I just needed to put this out there. I LOVE YOU, MEG CABOT! I LOVE YOU, PRINCESS MIA!
