different but still fun

The tone was a little younger than I expected, but I still enjoyed it. I'm such a fan of the movies, I wanted to compare them with the books. Definitely very different, but I liked the differences. I think this book would have been so fun for 14 year old me as it really did put me back into my teen years and how important everything seems to be in the moment. I'm excited to see how the next one will be!

I loved this series!

Even being in my twenties, I still enjoyed listening to The Princess Diaries. Anne Hathaway's narration is great, and she will make you love Mia. The books are very different from the movies. I recommend all five books in the series.

Love it!

Just a beautiful coming of age love story! Even though I've read the entire book series twice, listening to the talented and beautiful Anne Jacqueline Hathaway read the book gives it more beauty.

Good read

Not the same as the movie obviously, but still an enjoyable YA read. Of course Ann Hathaway narrated it sooo.

Her becoming a princes out of no where

I love how this book is written and how it is greatly organized with the audible
