Read for: Mount TBR & Series Challenge
Synopsis: "Princess Mia may seem like the luckiest girl ever.
But the truth is, Mia spends all her time doing one of three things: preparing for her nerve-wracking entrée into Genovian society, slogging through the congestion unique to Manhattan in December, and avoiding further smooches from her hapless boyfriend, Kenny.
For Mia, being a princess and in love is not the fairy tale it's supposed to be... or is it?"
My Review: While this book wasn't as bad as the first one, it still wasn't the most enjoyable book for me to read. I found it difficult to sympathize with Mia in this one, maybe I am ready for her to get over some the same issues she has been whining about throughout the series so far. I did find her to at least mature a little bit in other aspects, as far as caring about how her actions will affect those around her. We are finally getting to the point the series has been leading to so far, her introduction to the Genovian people so I am looking forward to the next couple of books.

My Rating: After the great progress in book 2, I felt like this one was a little middle of the road for me. It didn't do a lot to grab my attention but it didn't turn me away either. I give it a rating of Three Paws and a Stump Wag.
I'm reading these books too, and I feel the same way. Mia needs to chill and move on! I love the Michael/Mia romance though.
ReplyDeleteI do love the Michael/Mia romance as well. I have to remind myself that she is only 15 but still I don't remember being that dramatic in my teens, but I guess maybe that was just me.
DeleteOne of these days I'll read this series but I think getting older is not helping. I think this series is just for a younger audience.
ReplyDeleteI agree, if you are going to read it start now and get past the really young drama quickly. I do see the series improving but the start was really rough.
