She doesn’t do this so much in the book series. She was difficult and pushy, but she also finally let Mia shine. I loved her archaic and independent attitude in the movie. The thing that actually annoyed me most about this story was Lily. I’m sure that at some point, later in the series, she will stop doing this and realise that her not-of-this-world grandmother doesn’t really help her be a normal American teenager… maybe MUCH later in the series. And, as usual, she lets her Gradmere influence her and this leads to all kinds of other chaos.

Whether he will get her a gift, whether they will do something together, whether she should get him a gift. This time, it’s over her first valentine’s day with Michael.

Bleugh.Īs always, Mia is a slightly over-wrung basket case. Of course, I didn’t ever worry about my boyfriend’s forgetting valentine’s day, and I certainly didn’t have to worry about being a princess. It’s cute, it’s funny, and like the rest of the stories so far, this left me with a smile on my face, reminiscing about when I was a teenage girl thinking every drama was the end of the world. And by fluff I mean, mindless, happy, easy reading. This is even shorter fluff than the rest of the Princess Diaries books. So why can’t Michael give in to cupid and tell Mia he loves her – preferably with something wrapped in red or pink and accompanied by roses – in time to prove he’s Mia’s true prince?

And Mia isn’t having much luck proving otherwise, since Michael has a history of being decidedly against any kind of exploitative commercialization (Valentine’s Day, as it is commonly known).īoris can declare his love openly to Lilly, and even Kenny comes through with a paltry Whitman’s Sampler. For one thing, Grandmere seems determined to prove that boy (or Michael, as he is commonly known) isn’t the right one for the crown princess of Genovia. But when you’re Princess Mia, nothing happens the way it’s supposed to. Valentine’s Day means flowers, chocolates, and all-out romance.
