(A funny aside- when I showed up to school with the book, two of the “popular” girls immediately went out and got it for their projects too. I flew through the novel and reread it multiple times, holding it near and dear to my heart, feeling giddy and slightly sneaky reading about teenagers at the age of 10. Content wise…well I was definitely a bit shocked, haha! Mia deals so candidly and realistically with topics that freshmen in high school have to confront, from sex to boys to school to politics to self-actualization. Writing style wise, I loved it (I was always one of those kids who was a more accelerated reading level than what was being written for my age group- I was so tired of middle grade novels at that point). I had seen the movie and loved it, so I went to my local Borders and picked up the pink paperback. It all started when I was in fourth grade and we had to choose a book for an independent reading project. The Princess Diaries holds a special place for me because it was literally the first YA book that I ever read. Couple this with the fact that 2015 marks the 15th anniversary of The Princess Diaries publication and I am in full on fangirl mode.Ī Bit About My YA Reading Experience as Influenced by Meg Cabot I even recently started re-buying the novels in the newer paperback covers because my covers are all mismatched since they changed so much over the years. I own all of the novels, all but one of the novellas (before e-books, when they used to be published in tiny little paperbacks) and all of the companion how-to guides.
When I found out that she was publishing a continuation, adult novel in the series, I knew it was time for me to revisit the series- and I do mean the whole series.
If you’ve been visiting my blog for a while, you’ve probably heard me mention my love for Meg Cabot’s Princess Diaries series.
