Type: Diary fiction-fantasy

Princess Mia Thermopolis (full name Princess Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Thermopolis Renaldo) is a Junior now. Precalculus? Chemistry? No fun! Plus, now she's doing terrible in Creative Writing. And Lilly, her best friend, has her nominated for class president--again! But worst of all, her boyfriend, Michael Moscovitz, is going to Japan for ONE WHOLE YEAR. Because Mia won't do IT (have sex) with him. Will Mia stop him? Or won't she? Will she be able to survive without the smell of Michael's neck for a year? Uh oh!

This book is kind of believable and kind of unvelievable. It's kind of unbelievable because Mia is getting incredibly hung up on

1. Michael going to Japan
2. Having IT (sex) with Michael
3. Having precalculus and
4. Getting bad grades in Creative Writing when she wants to be a writer.

But I guess some people's minds work that way so it is kind of believable.

Also, this volume of The Princess Diaries is not exactly like some of the others. For one thing, the other volumes don't really have IT (sex) in them except for one or two. Another thing is because in this one there is Precalculus and Chemistry.
(If there IS sex in more than one or two of the other books and there IS Precalculus and Chemistry in some of the other books, than I will just say I have not read ALL the Princess Diaries books. Thank you.)
