"Part of being a princess means swallowing your pride and doing the right thing for your people, no matter how personally humiliating it might be." (Mia Thermopolis)
In Ten Out of Ten, it's Mia's senior year and while she's getting acceptance letters from colleges, she's getting rejection letters from publishers because no one wants to publish a historical romance novel that she secretly wrote. Her father might also lose, in Genovia's first elections, to her cousin, Rene. And, although Mia is in a happy relationship with J.P., Michael Moscovitz, her ex-boyfriend, is back from Japan.
♛ Ten Out of Ten is my favourite book in the Princess Diaries series.
♛ Mia is still extremely frustrating and naive and she over analyses everything, but instead of finding her annoying, she's snarky, hilarious and endearing.
♛ Mia is more mature and grown up in Ten Out of Ten.
♛ Everyone has grown in Ten Out of Ten.
♛ Lana is fun.
♛ Tina Hakim Baba is an awesome best friend.
♛ Lily is also more mature. She's still the same Lily but she's less overbearing. I grew to like her in Ten Out of Ten.
♛ Grandmere and Rocky have an adorable relationship.
♛ It's no secret that I dislike J.P.. He's a self-centered jerk who puts romance novels down and he and Mia have no chemistry. However, everything that happens between him and Mia is a little too convenient. J.P. is made out to be a villain just so that Mia and Michael can get back together.
♛ In Ten Out of Ten, I was reminded about all my reasons for liking Michael.
♛ All the Michael and Mia scenes put a goofy smile on my face. Michael and Mia's relationship evolved in the years that they spent apart and when they meet each other again, it's so evident.
♛ Ten Out of Ten is a predictable, light and fun read that put a smile on my face.
"I remembered something of which Grandmere had once assured me: No one has ever died of embarrassment - never, not once in the whole history of time. (Mia Thermopolis)
