Princess in Waiting (The Princess Diaries #4)

Reader reviewed by Taylor

Do you honestly think being a princess is all it's cracked up to be? I mean the makeup, the clothes, the easy work. Yhea right!

Here is a princess who has an F in algebra, can't stand up, has big framed glasses and just found out she's a princess!

At first it was fun until she had to take Princess Lessons. Then it was torture. Always in the public eye she hated it.

As well as the other Princess Diaries novels, I liked Princess in Waiting, volume 4 of the royal series. This is my second time reading it, taking about 2.5 hours, but is still quite interesting.


Princess in Waiting I would like to consider a continuation of Princess in Love, which it obviously is, but the book totally revolves around Michael Moscovitz. Now that Michael has revealed his love for Mia Thermopolis (the Princess), Mia can’t wait to get back to him for a date. She is on her first official trip to Genovia to address her people. While in Genovia, Mia is worried about Michael forgetting about her. Lilly convinces her he didn’t though. When Mia returns, the girls learn some lessons about love due to lack of communications. Meanwhile, Mia deals with the olive growers, as well as the government concerning the parking meters. Read it and enjoy.


I liked reading Princess in Waiting because Mia was a little more serious about her life. She finds her true talent, finds she doesn’t need luck, and worries about her relationship with Michael. I recommend this novel for girls ages 12 and up.
