"Faint heart never won fair lady." (Mia Thermopolis)

In Princess in the Middle, Mia's love life is a mess. She has a boyfriend, but she's in love with someone else, her best friend's older brother, Michael Moscovitz. Unfortunately, Michael is going out with a senior who's smarter than Mia. Mia feels she doesn't stand a chance and that Michael will always see her as his younger sister's best friend.

Princess in the Middle is quite repetitive, but I didn't mind it because I was living for all the drama.
♕ I like Mia's voice and personality. Lovesick Mia is hilarious!
♕ Mia's starting to stand up for herself. She sets off the school fire alarm to stop a school walkout and she destroys Lana's phone. However, she STILL needs to tell Lily to stop pushing her around.
♕ My love-hate relationship with Lily continues.
♕ Grandmère is such a twisted woman, but she shows that she cares about Mia in her own way.
♕ I feel bad for Kenny. Mia was leading him on and I just wanted her to stop. However, I could understand why she didn't. She's only 14 years old, this is her first relationship and she's not used to standing up for herself and expressing her feelings.
♕ There's also emotional cheating, one of my pet peeves. However, it didn't bother me in Princess in the Middle.
♕ Also, I am swooning over Michael Moscovitz!
"You are a princess. And princesses do not run away when things become difficult." (Grandmère to Mia Thermopolis)
