Princess in Training by Meg Cabot

3.0

---

This book kicks off Mia's sophomore year, and centers around another one of Lily's insane plots she drags Mia into (nominating her to be class president against her will...for Lily's own benefit of course). While I actually liked the presidency plot because it was nice to see Mia grow into herself more and become more confident in her leadership skills, Lily and Mia's friendship is just so irritating (the baby licker thing, UGH). Lily's so selfish and I just want Mia to kick her to the curb! Mia also focuses A LOT on sex (namely feeling pressured to have it thanks to Lana's comments to Mia about college boyfriend expectations) and while Mia's neurosis didn't bother me, her tendencies to obsess over things that other people WHO SHE KNOWS SHE SHOULDN'T TRUST tell her is taxing. Also, Michael seemed a little forward about his expectations considering Mia is 15 years old. It was fun to read about Mia's interactions with her little brother Rocky, though, and Tina's relationship with Boris (who is now a hottie, I totally forgot!). 3/5 Stars
