They follow the tried-and-tested epistolary formula of journal entries, a necessarily intimate format which allows readers a direct look into the protagonist Mia’s mind as she navigates school and home life, oh and being a princess of Genovia, a small European principality which is a world away from her life in New York City. When it comes down to actual content, they’re fun and they’re fluff but there’s nothing overly revolutionary about the narrative. I can’t deny that a lot of the reasons I’m enjoying these books as much as I am on re-read is because a) Anne Hathaway narrating brings fond memories of the film adaptations, and b) nostalgia for reading these books for the first time when I was younger. But will the bride and groom even turn up? And how can Mia find out the true identity of her mysterious secret admirer?” ( Synopsis from the publisher) “Fourteen-year-old Mia Thermopolis is still struggling to come to terms with the fact that she’s a princess – and heir to the throne of Genovia! But when she announces on national TV that her mum is pregnant by her algebra teacher and plans to marry him, a right-royal fuss results! Because now Mia’s totally out-of-control Grandmere is all set to plan the year’s biggest society wedding, with every A-list celeb invited.
