Finally a bit more Mia

Like many girls around my age, I grew up reading The Princess Diaries series by Meg Cabot. In fact, I think I’ve read almost every single book that Meg Cabot has written, save for a couple of the ones from her Mediator series. I just love her style of writing. Her characters can always make me laugh and her stories pull me in when I need an escape.

Royal Wedding comes 8 or so (my math skills are horrendous) years after the end of the 10th book in the series, which many people thought would be the last. Getting to see what has happened in the life of the charismatic Princess Mia was such a delight. It was like jumping back into my teenage years, but, just like me, Mia has grown up.

The Heartbreakers

The Heartbreakers by Ali Novak is the first book that I read through NetGalley. It was the first of the books I requested to be approved by the publisher and I was really excited to start reading. I have to say I was not disappointed.

The book is about an 18-year-old girl called Stella, who is one of three siblings. Two girls and a boy, who just happen to be triplets. Her identical twin sister, Cara, has been fighting cancer for a number of years and her health is deteriorating as they come up to their 18th birthday.

Stella and her brother, Drew, think it would be a brilliant idea to take a road trip and get Cara’s favourite band, The Heartbreakers, to sign a CD for her, despite the fact that they both despise the famous boyband.
