Lets take a moment to appreciate Mia and Michael in this movie... How adorable!! But lets not mention Michael in the sequel (you know...how he CEASED to EXIST)

4.5Absolutely LOVED this! Okay, so I wasn't really planing to read this ever, because I was quite satisfied with the movie and I've heard that the books were really different. But then, Shannon from Leaning Lights (booktuber) how cute, fun they were and I find it really cheap on Thrift Books and they gave me a 20% discount because of my birthday, and I had to buy it, OK? xD But it was such a good decision. I'm still surprised that about how much I enjoy this story. I laugh out loud multiple time...

This book was so much fun! ^^I love the series because it transports me back in time when I was a lot younger! 😄 If you are looking for something light and fun, then give it a go!Krisi

So, it's not like the movie, but it definitely was a fun read.

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...

(2.5/5)If I'm being perfectly honest here, I only really decided to listen to this because I was:a.) bored doing math homeworkb.) looking for something light and func.) told that this was narrated by Anne Hathaway.And if we're going by those standards, then this book did not disappoint at all.Going into this, I wasn't expecting much. Almost everyone knows the plot of The Princess Diaries, especially considering that it was turned into a pair of movies a while ago. When Mia learns that she's the

4 starsThis was way funnier than I thought it would be. Mia is hysterical, and Meg Cabot's writing style is right up my alley. I'm looking forward to reading the gazillion other books that are in this series!

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...

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

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...

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...

Honestly, this book was a complete surprise for me! I had never read it (I know, I know) and I loved it!! So smart and clever and totally kick butt feminist. This book was so ahead of its time when it was first published. I don't know but I would guess there was backlash lol - I can't wait to pick up the next one and I definitely recommend the audiobooks as well. Anne Hathaway narrates the first three and she does an amazing job! :) I could try and nitpick and find something to critique but I ho...

THIS WAS SO ADORABLE AND HILARIOUS AND NOW I NEED THE REST OF THE BOOKS RIGHT NOW PLZ THX

3.5 stars. Loved the movie, finally got to read the book.Review to come.Audiobook CommentsRead by Anne Hathaway - which it was too cool! Unsurprisingly, she rocked it!YouTube | Blog | Instagram | Twitter | Facebook | Snapchat @miranda_reads

(January 6th-10th 2021) So I think it is clear that I love this book. I am obsessed with the main character and the story that unfolds. I love the movie and I adore the audio book. This is such a great royal contemporary series and it is my comfort book. I don't review this book because it would detract from my experience but I have listened to the audiobook a total of 4 times in less than a year. (September 9th 2020) Yes I’ve read this 3 times on audiobook.Yes I just bought the box set so I can...

Twenty years down the road, and my first foray into the world of YA Lit via Meg Cabot’s spectacularly fun series still has my heart. Staying home, trying to stay safe amidst a pandemic while stressing incessantly demanded a return to happier times.And Mia Thermapolis’ shenanigans seemed ideal.So here’s my old review (tweaked a bit after my 2020 reading):Say hello to fourteen-year old Mia Thermopolis and her innumerable teenage woes:1) She is the tallest girl in her class, has feet like skis, mou...

Reliving my teenage years and remembering just how many times I read this cover to cover.

Still my ultimate comfort read. I am probably going to ping pong back to this series and other Meg Cabot books during quarantine. Her work has helped me get through some real shitty moments in my life so I'm glad it can still work its magic.Although, I can really tell I have aged since first reading this series at the very ripe age of 13. Also, if you are a fan of this series Meg currently is posting Mia entries about Genovia dealing with the crisis free on her blog. You can thank me later.To se...
