Mia faces a year of difficult choices

As a junior, Mia is juggling the demands of school and royal life when the possibility of Michael moving to Japan puts their relationship under strain. The diary-format story brings that long-distance uncertainty together with questions about love, personal boundaries, and changing friendships—especially Mia’s increasingly complicated relationship with Lilly. Schoolwork, including Precalculus and Intro to Creative Writing, adds another pressure point to a year when Mia is weighing whether to ask Michael to stay and what that choice would mean for her own rules.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers following Mia’s story in the Princess Diaries series.
  • Teens and young adults interested in romance, friendship complications, and school pressures.
  • Readers who enjoy stories presented through diary entries.

Book overview

The eighth book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Princess Diaries series by Meg Cabot.

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.

Princess on the Brink is the eighth book in the beloved, bestselling series that inspired the feature film starring Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews. Beautifully repackaged in paperback, this title will appeal to new readers as well as fans looking to update their collection.

 

  • Long Distance Relationship: Mia's perfect boyfriend Michael is moving to Japan for a year--or more. Can their relationship survive thousands of miles, or is this the end for New York's favorite royal couple?
  • First Love Problems: There might be one way to convince Michael not to go, but it would mean breaking all her own rules about love and intimacy. Is he worth the ultimate risk?
  • Teen Angst: Told through her hilarious and heartfelt diary entries, Mia navigates the pressures of being a princess, a student, and a girl whose heart is on the brink of breaking.
  • Friendship Drama: As if her love life isn't complicated enough, things with her best friend Lilly are getting weird, especially when Lilly's own boyfriend, J.P., gets involved.
