The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot

5.0

---

Love, love, love The Princess Diaries! Continuing on nostalgia lane, I decided to dive into this series again as well. I don’t believe I finished this series when I was in middle school, but I remember loving Mia. For those who only recognize the title only because it is a Disney movie, they are not the same. Both are great in their own unique ways, but the book is darker than the Disney version (go figure). The characters are snarky and hilarious, which I like because they are unique and not trying too hard. It is also a bit believable how Mia acts with finding out that she’s a princess. She shows growth in her interactions with the other characters as well, which I imagine through the series will lead her to become a great ruler. I will continue the series, but I’m going to put a pause on it for now because I have so many books to read!
