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.
