Princess in the Spotlight by Meg Cabot
5.0
4.5 stars *reread
These books FLY by.. I JUST started this book and I feel like I haven't spent hardly any time reading it! While I still loved this book, I don't think it's AS good as the first, and I think it's closer to 4.5 stars.
Mia finally starts having to do more public Princess things like her big interview (man could you IMAGINE? I would have passed out probably..). In the first book she goes through a huge change finding out about being a princess.. this book has some really big changes too. More with her mom and (sort of) love life though!
Definitely a fun book and I'm looking forward to rereading the next one!
I remember the first time reading this I TOTALLY thought that Jo-C-Rox was Michael, just like Mia hoped. Now of course, when Mia started getting the letters and instant messages I knew it was Kenny.. It was actually a little obvious. I don't know how I didn't see it the first time. Mia doesn't even talk about that many other guys other than Josh, Michael, Kenny, and Boris.. And we know that Boris really likes Lily.. So ya. I remember how awkward everything is for Mia coming up soon so I'm not really looking forward to the next book as much. haha Kenny is just an awkward dude..
I'm so excited for Mia to have a little half brother or sister! I'm also glad that she seems to finally be over her mom dating her Algebra teacher.
I'm also proud of Mia's dad for helping out Mia's mom and Mr. Gianini. Of course Mia's Grandma was SUPER mad.. but she should have listened..
I feel bad for Michael. The way he reacted to seeing Kenny put his arm around Mia.. It's clear he at least likes her a LITTLE. Plus, inviting her out with the group on Halloween and saying she looks nice and everything..

One thing that I noticed this time rereading the books, is how quickly Mia moves on from Josh to Michael. Mia NOTICES Lily's bother in the first book, but she wasn't in love with him or anything. Her focus was completely on Josh. While I'm really happy that she was able to move on so quickly after she realized how much of a tool Josh really is, I'm still not sure it's that believable. Most 14 year olds would probably dwell at least a LITTLE bit about their old crush.. I mean she still sees Josh at school and stuff. Then again, Mia is 14 and we know how crushes go at that age I guess...I remember the first time reading this I TOTALLY thought that Jo-C-Rox was Michael, just like Mia hoped.
