finally Mia is understanding that Lily is a horrible friend. Maybe the next book will have her sticking up for herself and what she wants

Kayaknya ini buku yang paling menarik dan berbobot dibandingkan serial Princess Diaries yang sebelum-sebelumnya. Gue sampai nggak bisa berhenti baca, karena penasaran apa yang bakal terjadi selanjutnya. Bisa dilihat karakter Mia disini memang pelan-pelan berubah jadi lebih dewasa. Dia masih Mia yang suka histeris dan khawatiran, tapi dia belajar cara pandang baru terhadap teman-temannya, dan lebih menghargai mereka. Misalnya dengan Lana, meski memang tidak selalu nyaman bersama dengan Lana—Mia jadi ikut bolos pelajaran demi pergi ke Starbuks, dsb—Mia bisa mulai memandang bahwa Lana mungkin tidak seburuk yang dia kira sebelumnya.

Kemudian Lilly. Meskipun depresi karena sahabatnya terus menerus marah padanya, lama-lama dia merasa juga bahwa selama ini Lilly malah seolah berpaling darinya setiap kali Mia ditimpa masalah berat. Kalau menurut gue juga, setelah Mia nggak berteman dengan Lilly lagi, dia justru..more

Definitely the best book in the series so far! The drama was top tier here, with so much happening in Mia's life. From losing her boyfriend and her best all in the span of a weekend, to tearing down the absolute monarchy of Genovia into a democracy. It's quite a lot, and I just loved every second. We've really seen Mia change a lot in just one book, and I'm so happy for her.

Spoiler

I also can't tell you how happy it made me to see this series cover such a heavy topic like depression, but in it's own lighthearted nice way. It made me pretty emotional, because I personally suffer from depression and Mia's struggle with caring about anything is so painfully relatable. I just never expected this series to touch on anything of the sort.

And as usual, I hate Lilly. She sucks so much, and I'm glad that Mia has finally started to see how awful she is, and how she deserves a better bestie, like Tina.

I honestly can't believe that there's only one more book! (at least in the main series) But I'm so excited to see how it all ends.

This one gets a lot deeper, as Mia deals with her emotional state in this one in a very real way. I can imagine reading this as a girl her age would’ve been really important.

Yes! My heart still needs a little more mending and repairing, but this book made a great start. I really enjoy this series. It's light-hearted, it's fun, it feels kinda realistic and Mia is such a likable character! It's kinda weird that the next book is already the last! (Although, I saw there was an eleventh book out too, just not in a matching edition, of course) This series has been so comforting and entertaining and amusing! I Can't wait to read the last one!
