While she may not have achieved self-actualization yet, Mia
feels that she is well on her way to lifetime happiness because she has finally
started dating Michael. Unfortunately,
she had to leave for Genovia right when they declared their love for each other. So the first part of the book consists of
Mia’s royal duties and her longing for Michael, who she has a hard time
catching on the phone.
Her unrelenting obsession with ‘that boy’ prompts Grandmere
to give Mia a copy of Jane Eyre. She hopes that Mia will learn that playing
hard to get is the best course of action where men are concerned. Of course when Mia and Tina try to model
themselves after Jane, things start to unravel in their relationships. Go figure.
When Mia is finally able to leave Genovia she leaves quite
the impression, and disturbs a good percentage of the government with her
radical parking meter idea. So it is
decided that she needs more princess lessons with Grandmere, much to Mia’s
displeasure. She also has another
semester of Algebra to look forward to and a wealth of social obligations that
don’t sound nearly as promising as a night watching Star Wars with
Michael.
This volume is much like the others, I always get a little
frustrated with Mia, but I enjoy her and the other characters nonetheless. Probably my favorite side note for this book
is the introduction of the movies into the story. They mock certain parts of it, like the dad
being dead and the grandmother being nice.
It’s short but it makes me giggle.
