The Princess Diaries, Volume VIII: Princess on the Brink

At last, Mia is a junior. An upperclassperson. So why is it that everything is going so terribly wrong? What is she doing in Intro to Creative Writing? When she has made it through Algebra and Geometry, why must she be faced with Precalculus? All this is nothing compared to the news Michael springs on her, however. Her beloved boyfriend could be leaving for Japan for a year—or more! Precalc has nothing on preparing for the worst separation ever! Turns out there is one way she might convince Michael to stay. But will she? Or won't she? No matter what, Mia seems headed for disaster.

I think this is one of the weaker books in the series, but I still liked it. Only two books left now. :(

This book was... not what I expected. I’m not mad at the whole plot just certain things. I’ve never been a fan of Lily I seriously feel she is mean to Mia because she is jealous #frenemis. She never really listens to Mia and dismisses what ever she says. Lily knew since the beginning JP liked Mia, and still she tried to do her best for them not to be together.

I also hated the fact that everyone though that Mia was crazy talking about the precious gift, and how ridiculous that was... I felt her to the core, because is something important to her. Michael should have know she is a romantic, since he likes her the way she is.

I honestly prefer JP... so he better not have slept with Lily, because he has to be with Mia from now on.

I'm glad I waited to write this review until I finished the whole series. Watching the decline of Mia's sanity was difficult to read. There were many times I wanted to reach through the book and shake her! But it sets the stage nicely for the next two books, so hang in there!
