I did not like this book. It just wasn't my style ( ![]() I was surprised by how fun this was. Anne Hathaway as the narrator uses a young girl's voice. It is in the form of a diary. A student demanded I read this book, so I did. It was okay. One of those rare instances where I liked the movie more, but I wonder if that's because I've seen the movie so many times. Eventually I will probably read the rest in this series (I really do like Lilly's written character better than in the film version) but I didn't feel compelled to go out and get the rest of the series right away. Enjoyable, to be sure, and when my nieces are older, I'll definitely recommend this one. This was fun! I think I picked up a book in this series when I was first venturing into the libraries teen section but I used to read series out of order because I would never look up which books came first (I did the same thing with Meg Cabot's Mediator series, which I also want to go back and revisit), so I don't actually think I ever read this one. I'm very happy I did go back and read this! I am definitely outside of the age range for this book but I still found it very entertaining, which I think is a good sign. This captures the chaos of high school and freshman year really well. I was honestly surprised how much of this book just focused Mia's daily life and issues and not even that much of the royalty element, but I really liked it. It made a story with a sort of out there plot seem much more grounded and I enjoyed that. The writing style was really fun to me. It has a pretty straight-forward structure but you could really see Mia's voice in it. It truly felt like a character writing in a diary and just recounting the events of the day. Some of the passages just made me smile, which is really rare for me when reading. I just loved how much the writing in this book felt like I was reading a 14 year olds diary and I loved how the parts about her being a princess were so neatly folded into discussions of the normal problems of a high schooler. I think I will continue this series because these are just so fun and they're really quick reads. I can't wait to see how this story continues because this book just made me fall in love with Mia. Though usually not among the choosiest of bookworms, I feel it necessary to to briefly recount my experience with this tale. Like many others, I enjoyed the movie based off this very book. Being among those who strongly believe the saying, "The book was better" almost always applies, I felt as though I couldn't go wrong with this book. How sadly was I mistaken. Gone is the awkward charm and sweetness from the movie. Instead, the book is filled with vulgarity and crude remarks from start to finish. I found myself cringing at the beginning, and skimming practically whole chapters at a time near the end. All in all, I spent about an hour on this book, and believe me, I consider that time wasted. Sad to say, time-honored beliefs do not always prove true, and... The movie was better.
