Audiobook Review: Princess Mia

Title: Princess Mia
Author: Meg Cabot
Narrator: Clea Lewis
Format: Audio CD, unabridged
Publishing date: 2008 (originally 2007)
Publisher: Recorded Books

Summary from Goodreads:

A Princess on her own . . .

Mia has been invited to speak at a gala for Domina Rei, an elite society of powerful businesswomen. But what could she possibly have to say? Michael has broken up with her, her bff Lilly won't speak to her, and her parents are forcing her to see a therapist. Even J.P.'s efforts to cheer Mia up (he's being really sweet!) aren't helping.

Just when things couldn't get worse, Mia discovers a long forgotten diary of a teenage princess of Genovia. It could be just the inspiration Mia needs to write her speech but what it reveals might change everything.

Review (89 words):

I'll just say it like it is, I loved listening to this book. I grew up on the Princess Diaries audio books, and this is nostalgia at its finest. I loved how Lewis reads every single character as separate, and the skill in her readings is incredible. It feels as if you can actually see the various people that colour Princess Mia's life. The twist and turns of Mia becoming a young woman surprisingly mirrors many young women's growth from adolescence to adulthood, and hearing it is amazingly impact.

Rating:
5/5 Stars

Thanks for reading and see you next time friends,

My Favourite Read of 2020

In my year long break from blogging, I certainly spent a whole lot of time searching for THE BOOK. I'm sure you all know what I mean. I mean the book that literally makes you laugh out loud, and tear up, the book that will not leave your mind no matter how many books you read afterwards. And friends, I think I have found it (at least for the time being). Keep in mind that I am calling this post my best READ of 2020, not BOOK, because I am aware that this book was published in 2019. What can I say, I am a little late to the party of critical acclaim that this book seemed to have garnered!
