Princess Academy by Shannon Hale
4.0
This book wasn't exactly what I was expecting, but it was still really good.
It's a fantasy that is only a little fantastical. I really liked the story. I actually got really nervous when the year was up and I had to put the book down for a few minutes. I thought Miri was really smart and badass and cool. Some of the girls really suck, but this book has really excellent female friendships. And even though this book is about the girls learning to become princesses, it's really not romance heavy.
Side note: This book saved the job interview I had the day I read it. I was applying to a library in a town I really haven't spent much time in. I went to the library and checked out this book and while chatting with the librarian I learned that the town has two libraries. Turns out that I thought I was applying to the wrong library and was able to do well in my interview.
