Royal Wedding - Meg Cabot


Back of the Book (Goodreads)
For Princess Mia, the past five years since college graduation have been a whirlwind of activity, what with living in New York City, running her new teen community center, being madly in love, and attending royal engagements. And speaking of engagements. Mia's gorgeous longtime boyfriend Michael managed to clear both their schedules just long enough for an exotic (and very private) Caribbean island interlude where he popped the question! Of course Mia didn't need to consult her diary to know that her answer was a royal oui.
But now Mia has a scandal of majestic proportions to contend with: Her grandmother's leaked "fake" wedding plans to the press that could cause even normally calm Michael to become a runaway groom. Worse, a scheming politico is trying to force Mia's father from the throne, all because of a royal secret that could leave Genovia without a monarch. Can Mia prove to everyone—especially herself—that she's not only ready to wed, but ready to rule as well?

My Review J
Ah the long awaited read! The reunion with one of my favourite series ever! Meeting Mia and Michael all over again! This book is all that and so much more!
I have been a Princess Diaries fan since I was a teenager. One of my favourite parts of the series is that Mia and I grew up together. It makes her so relatable. J
The first thing I noticed when I was reading the Royal Wedding was the feeling of being home again. I couldn’t help smiling my way through the entire book journeying through another super important part of Mia’s life. 
We start off about eight years after the tenth book. Mia is running a community center helping teenagers out and Michael is heading a successful medical robotics firm. We get to meet the old gang comprising Lilly, Tina, Grandmere, and Lars as well. It’s like a reunion with your favourite characters! All that is needed is your favourite reading spot, a big bag of chips and the book!
There are so many lovely moments in this book that make you want to give it a book hug (Michael has a lot to do with these moments :D). The characters are as colourful and humourous as ever. 
Princess Diaries Fans will love this book and it will join the reread list for sure! This series is, of course, on my recommendation list to those who haven't read it already. 
I am now looking forward to Meg Cabot’s next instalment in The Boy Series. Let the next wait begin! J

Until then,

The Perennial Reader :)
