Oh my GOD. Okay let’s get into it.

I’ll say it: Lilly is actually right in this book. Harsh, but right. I really enjoyed seeing Mia get herself into a situation where her being a princess couldn’t fix everything. But I also DIDN'T like it because (oh no) I actually felt something. 

The part where she calls her dad, sobbing, asking “was it mom?” had me in actual tears.

I’m having a hard time putting what I’m thinking into words, but reading these books has made me think more about my own teenage years. There is still so much you don’t know, but you feel like you have to know it all. And you feel everything. DEEPLY. And everything is NEW and there are the things you should do and the things that everybody else is doing. Meg Cabot does such a good job creating that feeling in this story and with these characters.


But Mia please never say “my precious gift” again for the love of god
