Wow! Completely wow! This first book of The Princess Diaries series is one of my favorites.Meg Cabot describes fourteen year old Mia's life as she writes it in her diary. The story goes on to describe Mia's shock at discovering that she is not just an ordinary girl but a princess! Of course, it is not the story and its exaggerations as much as Cabot's capture of the emotions and thinking of a teenager that don't let you put it down.
One of the lightest and quickest reads amongst the last few books I read, I was lost in nostalgia about my school days and friends. I don't think this book is something guys will enjoy but girls will surely find reflections of their teenage years when they spent hours discussing trivialities with their best friend, obsessed about their clothes and looks, and of course dreamed about guys they had crushes on!
For the happy feeling this book gave me and the memories it revived, I am looking forward to reading more of this 10-book series.

is this part of your resolve to read books which don't necessarily enrich your life and all that?
Sujay, I never resolved to read books which enrich or don't enrich my life.
May be you are confusing me with someone else (which would be understandable) :P
ahem. maybe 'resolve' is too strong a word - there definitely was an active effort to put on hold reading books which
a) had won something
b) were going to win something
c) were by authors who had won something
d) were highly recommended and had lots of enriching qualities
No confusion there!
There's a lot of extrapolation you have done.
Btw, something = Booker Award. Not all of them are enriching, as I have discovered! :(
