100 Pages A Day...Stephanie's Book Reviews

 Five years after college graduation Her Royal Highness, Mia Thermompolis has a lot on her plate.  She runs a teen community center- well, when she can, still goes out with her high school sweetheart Michael and attends as many political engagements as she can to better Genovia.  Even more is added to her plate with negative media attention and increased paparazzi when her father is arrested for speeding and his place in the Genovian prime minister polls drops.  Media outlets also wonder when the heck Mia will ever get married while at the same time hounding her for the refugee situation in Genovia and the GMO Genovian oranges.  Michael whisks Mia away from all this to their own private island getaway where he finally proposes.  Mia is overjoyed until she finds out that fake wedding plans and even a date have already been leaked to the press in order to cover up an even bigger scandal of her father’s before she even returns home.

Princess Mia Thermompolis is back!  I remember when the first book came out and I fell in love with Mia, her quirks and her transformation into a princess.  Now, eleven books later, I feel like we have grown up together.  Don’t worry if you haven’t read all eleven books though, you can jump right into Royal Wedding.  I love that Mia’s core personality has not changed throughout all of these books; she has grown into an adult and a wonderful princess but is still the same Mia at heart. She still loves her dorky TV shows, has the same friends and a wonderful heart, but she is still nowhere near perfect and continues to make blunders  that any normal person would make.  Mia and Michael’s relationship continues to be super-sweet and Michael was super supportive, level-headed and hilarious.  I’m so glad that Mia had a beautiful wedding and that I have had a chance to see her through adulthood.  I don’t know how I feel yet about Mia’s little sister, but she sure seems awfully cute!  With writing done in diary style with added texts and other bulletins this is a quick, easy, read, perfect for summer.
