The Princess Diaries - Takes Two (The Princess Diaries #2) by Meg Cabot Review

Hey ForeverBookers,

(I forgot to post this when I finished reading The Princess Diaries - Takes Two by Meg Cabot so here’s my review for it in real time…)

I’ve just finished reading The Princess Diaries - Takes Two by Meg Cabot and I loved it. It a really fun and entertaining read. I thought it hinged more on adult than it maybe should have but I think that a mature Young Adult reader could read it still. Mia, our FMC comes across as grown up while being a fourteen-sixteen year old. 


3 stars! 


I read this for Reading Rivalry - Passing On Your Legacy - no one dies in this book but eventually, Clarisse will pass on the royalty of Genova to Mia, as that’s where I was going with this. 


Spoilers Below…


“It is so incredibly embarrassing. I mean, that my mom and Mr Gianini, you know, Did it.

Worse, that they Did It without using anything. I mean, please. Who DOES that anymore?” 


Mia is struggling at the beginning of the story with the news that her mom is indeed pregnant with her algebra teacher’s baby. This is a big thing throughout the book. The Princess Diaries is literally a series written as if you’re in Mia’s head, so this fact is repeated a lot too. It’s quite funny, though. Of course Clarisse Renaldi, Mia’s grandmother doesn’t like how her mom has gotten pregnant out of wedlock, so she insists on a wedding for Helen and Mr G. The capital “DOES” also shows how this is written in a teenager from the 90’s/00’s POV too. 


This wedding happens at the end of the book, or does it? What problems does Mia encounter? Also Mia has friendship problems throughout with Lily, her bbf and boy problems with Lily’s brother Michael. There’s a secret admirer for Mia too. Who is is? Is it Michael, as she hopes? I’ll let you read for yourself but it’s a funny reveal. 


Overall then, I loved The Princess Diaries Take Two! It wasn’t the most out there, amazing story but it was That’s why I’m giving it 3 stars! It was an easy, fun and quick read with some adult issues brought into the plot too. I laughed out loud again, which never happens when I read!

American Royals (#1 American Royals) by Katharine McGee review

Hey ForeverBookers,   I’ve just finished American Royals by Katherine McGee and I LOVED it! If you love scandal and complicated love stories in a contemporary setting, then you will love it as well! Think a royal version of Gossip Girl and you have this book in a nutshell. American Royals follows six characters, all of the new adult age range that come together to create a story of intrigue and romance. There isn’t high action or really a plot outside of the romance which was fine with me as I really enjoy stories just focused on the romance. I appreciated how “American Royals” only focused on the six different characters. There weren’t loads of personalities to get to know, and they all followed the same pattern as they’re all from or have grown up around a certain standing in society. This made the characters easy to follow and understand. It is a character led story, without as I said, much plot.  What there is of a plot of American Royals is taken up with the ascension of ...

The Flat Share by Beth O’Leary Review

Hi foreverBookers,  How are you all today? I hope you’re well! I’ve just finished reading “The Flat Share” by Beth O’Leary and I’m surprised to say that I VERY MUCH enjoyed it!  4 Stars! I only wanted to read “The Flat Share” because of the TV show that’s just come out in the UK! Beth O’Leary books seemed uninteresting to me before. I will probably read more from her in the future now as I enjoyed this one so much! “The Flat Share” had romance and fluff as well as more serious topics though, which was nice to see. Leon, the main male character is black. I don’t think we see many people of colour in books based in the UK or even the States. I can only think of two that I’ve read and reviewed that feature black characters and I’ve reviewed a lot of books! This was nice to see. It’s very much a white dominant industry, I feel. “The Flat Share” tells the story of a young woman, Tiffy who needs a house to live in, when she breaks up with her long term boyfriend, Justin. He’s ve...
