Princess in Waiting (The Princess Diaries #4)

This is a great book! i would recommended this book for girls 13+. It does talk about how Mia's cousin was in the royal pool house doing "it" with 2 girls. But, overall this book was very good!

So Princess Mia is now in Genovia, the small principality that she will one day rule over. She really misses Michael and wishes that he was there with her. She has to go through so many things in Genovia. Her schedule is full with state functions. She cant wait to get back home to the loft.

When she does finally get back home, she is greeted with a message from Michael, but she doesnt want to chase him. She wants to be just like Jane Eyre.

Grandmère blackmails Mia into going to a ball, but it just so happens that the ball is on the same night as Mias date with Michael. Mia decides to make an appearance at the ball, but Grandmère tries to set her up with Prince Rene.

Mia manages to escape and make it Michaels apartment even though its really late. They have their romantic date after all, and Mia discovers her talent. Once again, Mia has a happy ending.

This is another romantic book in the series. Michael is such a great boyfriend for Mia. She really couldnt be luckier. With all her problems and troubles, Michael makes Mias life so much better. She always has something to look forward to. I hope Meg Cabot will continue to make their lives together great. Teen girls will love this book!

mia cant seem to do anything right!!! she is getting so frusterated with trying to impress everyone. Not only that but mia isnt having good luck with the government of genovia. they dont seem to like her very much. Lets not even mention the parking meter incident and how mia cant stop the addicting habbit of chewing on her finger nails. what can mia do to make life better for herself?

This was a little dull in the beginning compared to the others in the series, but it was good nonetheless. She has just started being Micheal's girlfriend, but she still hasn't been on a date with him. It sucks. Tina breaks up her boyfriend, and Mia think Micheal will too. I love almost all of the Princess Diaries' endings, and this one doesn't dissapoint. They are all very sweet, and Mia is so lucky to have such a great boyfriend.

This book is ok.Not as good as the first three but still ok.I don't like the way mia and michael keep missing each other and never get to talk.But i love the fact that they do finally one day.ANd the fact that even though they are hundreds of miles apart they still love each other sao much and can't stop thinking about each other.

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.
