Princess in Pink (Princess Diaries, #5)

by Meg Cabot

[sarahjay]

"And now I am lying here, a broken shell of a girl. . . fifteen years old, and yet so much older in so many ways. Because I know now what it is like to see all of your hopes and dreams crushed beneath the soulless heel of despair." Mia. Oh my god. It's prom. You are a freshman. You will have more chances to go to prom.

This book reminds me of what it would maybe be like to go back and read my own high school diaries, except less embarrassing. And this book is really embarrassing. Which is why I, again, mostly skimmed. Also, I've thought this throughout this reread, but - Lilly is a horrible best friend???? Like, extremely awful? She is inexcusably mean to Mia (and everyone) for no reason and makes every situation about herself. Granted, Mia is fairly insufferable too from time to time, but Lilly is constantly belittling her. How are they still friends?????????????

Also, Mia, please re-read Jane Eyre.
