The Princess Diaries, Volume VII: Party Princess

This was so good. Just when I was getting mad at a character they really surprised me. I loved how it turned out

Another book done in the Princess Diaries series. These books are so easy to read and complete, the writing style is quirky and since they are diary entries, like I have mentioned before, they are not always full pages of reading.In this installment, Mia has to use her problem solving skills to fix a broken student government, figure out why her boyfriend wants to have a party, and why her best friend and brother have been acting so strange. All the while dealing with more of her grandmother's crazy schemes.There was a lot of growth for Mia here - learning about herself and how people get what they want. She questions her idea of self-actualization that she has been trying to achieve up until this point, and I think that she is starting to realize that she can be herself and accomplish things.Like always the problems Mia faces in this book are both normal for a teen but also so over the top since she is a princess but it was funny and I am still enjoying these books.

Sophomore HRH Mia has been invited to a party by her boyfriend. But Mia isn't a party girl. She's a geeky, artsy homebody. Super stressed about the looming party, she must also deal with the financial difficulties of her student council presidency, as well as her artistic integrity due to a story she wrote about a boy who turns out to be exactly like Mia. Meanwhile, her grandmere is forcing her to put on a play with her friends. Mia is a fantastic, unique, spunky, flawed teenager. An awkward, nerdy, geeky, punk kid that turns out to have the weight of a country on her. She hilarious and heroic. And--at this point in the series--she is growing up. Sure, it's a cute, fantasy series of teen angst, but it so it so full of magic and voice. I love this girl, one of the most real teenagers of fiction, one who balances her obsession with boys and school with real concerns for her friends, family, and world. Also, this book is one of the better additions to the series. Grade: A-

I am a huge fan of the PD Books, and I think this is one of the best ones. It really show cases Mia coming to terms with both being a princess, as well as being a regular girl. It makes you love and hate all of the characters (other than Tina-- everyone always loves Tina), and allows you to see that no one is perfect! I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for enjoyment, not a literary classic!

This series of books was requested & sent directly to the recipient. I’m sure she loved it.

This book was super cute and Meg Cabot is a great writer. Mia is very relatable and her everyday high school struggles are funny and true. I can’t wait to read the next book!!! 🙃

Princess Mia is definitely not a party girl, in this book of teenage angst Mia thinks she can be someone she isn't and almost destroys herself in the process.

The last moniker you want when you are a serious Albert Einstein High School student is "the Party Princess." But that's what happens when insecure Mia thinks she needs to physically entice her boyfriend.

Acho que alguém deve ter dado um toque na autora, porque, como o livro anterior, esse teve bem mais enredo e não precisou girar em torno das neuroses da Mia. Ela também parece estar consideravelmente mais madura, ainda que não tenha perdido suas inseguranças.A melhor parte do livro é como o mundo da Mia parece se expandir um pouco mais, com mais personagens secundários e outras coisas acontecendo além de sua vida pessoal. Também encontrei menos comentários problemáticos e insensíveis, o que é sempre válido!Mas fiquei um pouco decepcionada por ver que a autora abandonou toda a questão da professora da Mia querer desafiá-la a escrever de um jeito mais profundo e complexo. Isso teria sido lindo de se ver, porque até eu canso das referências a cultura pop dela em tudo.De qualquer forma, estou animada para os últimos livros da série!

a good read all the princess diaries were fun to read

プリンセス・ダイアリーシリーズの７作目（番外編を除く）です。３月からのミアの日記です。邦訳が出るのが待ちきれずに、買ってしまいました。ストーリーは前半はゆっくり進みますが、後半は、今までの出来事が重なり合って、一気に終盤へ向かっていくので、途中で読むのがやめられなくなる面白さです。相変わらず、リリーやおばあさまに振り回されているミアですが、今回は生徒会の活動も忙しくて、バタバタしてます。新しい男の子が登場しますが、これがほんとに、優しいー！！！作者は本当に魅力的な男の子&男性を描くのがうまいですね。今後の展開が気になるところです。それにしても、「The Guy Who Hates It When They Put Corn in The Chili」は、出てくる度に笑ってしまいました。

待ちに待っていたんです、この本が出るのを。中2のときにシリーズ1巻を読んでから追っかけてきてかなり早いうちに追いついてしまい、最新刊が出るのを楽しみにしてました。英語自体は高校生の私にとってもそんなにむずかしくないのですが、Teenager独特の言い回し、スラング、またアメリカのポップカルチャーがふんだんに盛り込まれているので、そこらへんに疎い人だと「???」という箇所もあるかもしれないです。個人的には、いっぱい本がありすぎて、最新刊を読むたびに1巻から読み直さなきゃいけない私には大変ですが、本当にお勧めのシリーズです。本が置けなくなること間違いないですよ。

Arrived when promised. In great condition. Excellent value. Just what was needed.
