Mia is a just a normal 14 year old girl going to school and trying her best to not be noticed. At least, she doesn’t want to be noticed as a freak. But that changes when she is thrust into responsibilities of princess-hood as she finds out she’s part of the royal family of Genovia. Now everyone knows her name and who she is and she’s on the verge of a panic attack.

I didn't think I was going to like this as much as I did. It's pretty different from the movie. For starters, Mia’s dad isn’t dead and she doesn’t live in San francisco. The differences were nice and made everything new and refreshing. I thought it was super witty and made me laugh a lot. All the characters are really smart but they all sound like teenagers with angst and paranoia of being “unpopular” and “weird.”

I listened to the audiobook, which is narrated by Anne Hathaway, and she did a super job. It obviously gave the book that extra something since she played Mia in the movie adaptations.
