She's just a New York City girl living with her artist mom...

News flash: Dad is prince of Genovia. (So that's why a limo always meets her at the airport!)

Downer: Dad can't have any more kids. (So no heir to the throne.)

Shock of the century: Like it or not, Mia is prime princess material.

The worst part: Princess lessons from her dreaded grandmere, the dowager princess of Genovia, who thinks Mia has a thing or two to learn before she steps up to the throne.

Well, her father can lecture her until he's royal-blue in the face about her princessly duty, no way is she moving to Genovia and leaving Manhattan behind. But what's a girl to do when her name is PRINCESS AMELIA MIGNONETTE GRIMALDI THERMOPOLIS RENALDO?

The tone was a little younger than I expected, but I still enjoyed it. I'm such a fan of the movies, I wanted to compare them with the books. Definitely very different, but I liked the differences. I think this book would have been so fun for 14 year old me as it really did put me back into my teen years and how important everything seems to be in the moment. I'm excited to see how the next one will be!

different but still fun

Even being in my twenties, I still enjoyed listening to The Princess Diaries. Anne Hathaway's narration is great, and she will make you love Mia. The books are very different from the movies. I recommend all five books in the series.

I loved this series!

Just a beautiful coming of age love story! Even though I've read the entire book series twice, listening to the talented and beautiful Anne Jacqueline Hathaway read the book gives it more beauty.

Love it!

Not the same as the movie obviously, but still an enjoyable YA read. Of course Ann Hathaway narrated it sooo.

Good read
