A comfortable and fun read <3

If you haven't read it, you're seriously missing out on some prime YA goodness.

So... It's not just fluff... Mia has to deal with some real stuff, like finding her voice, standing up for herself and figuring out what kind of person and princess she wants to be. It's got that classic underdog vibe, but with tiaras and a whole lot of drama.

Dobra rozrywka, przyjemna, niezobowiązująca. Choć momentami przestarzała

Chwilami mocno niepoprawna i być może nie starzeje się najlepiej, ale to wciąż świetna rozrywka i ja śmiałam się w głos. Dzieciństwo! 🥺

This book was entirely a blast from the past, and reading it was like rewatching the movie because the two are so similar and nostalgic. Obviously, this book focuses on such melodramatic and cheesy plot points, but the reason it was so fun was because of Mia's sass and exasperation with her entire situation. I wish this book would have focused more on her transition to princess life rather than trying to continue on as normal and keeping it a secret, but I think that will be a lot more unpacked ...

Mia Thermopolis isn't particularly beautiful or graceful by her own admission, frequently worrying about her height and abnormally large feet.But she had a mostly happy childhood with her single mom and friends in NYC. Her mom was a painter and is dating her algebra teacher (ohgawdno). Annnnnnd her dad happens to be the crown prince of a small European country called Genovia....which means...SHE'S A FREAKING PRINCESS?And with that comes a whole host of new problems. Like princess lessons with he...

Unfortunately, I couldn't finish this. I got ten pages in and I could not handle Mia's obsession with kissing and the size of her chest and half a dozen other disgusting things. I'll stick to the movies, thank you very much.

THIS BOOK IS A MODERN CLASSIC.Honestly, I read this book in middle school and I still like it. Can you believe that? This book is so good that it makes current brilliant cool me agree with twelve-year-old me, who loved Justin Bieber and thought Aeropostale graphic tees were the height of fashion. It's miraculous. Also I'm amazing. (Just thought I'd clarify that in case my previous statement hadn't made it clear.)Anyway this is so so so so fun and surprisingly woke for having been written 18 year...

I first read this series YEARS ago but thought it was time for a reread with A Royal Wedding coming out this summer! I simply loved it! I thought maybe since I'm so much older I wouldn't like it as much, and that maybe I'd get annoyed even.. (Freshman Mia can be a little dramatic) but I didn't! It was perfect! Excited to continue reading on until the new book comes out! In some ways, I actually feel like I connect better with Mia now then I did before, not because I'm a princess secretly or beca...

If you've seen the movie version, this book takes up about the first third or maybe half of the movie (from what I remember), but don't let that fool you into thinking nothing much happens in this book.Mia Thermopolis lives in Manhattan with her artist mother Helen, going to a private school called Albert Einstein High and spending the summers with her father and his mother at her chateau in France. She knows they're rich, but she thinks her dad is just a politician. At school she's unpopular an...

I never got around to reading this when I was the protagonist Mia's age, and since the book and movie series became so popular, I recently decided to take a trip back to childhood and finally read this book. It was a quick read, thankfully, but I didn't find it nearly as endearing as the movie version (which is substantially different from the novel). The book seemed awfully light on plot and substance. Character development was minimal, and as a result, most of the characters (including Mia) we...
