Summary
Mia Thermopolis knows just what to do in a crisis: Rule。
During the Covid-19 pandemic， a section of the diary of Princess Mia Thermopolis of Genovia fell into the hands of Meg Cabot， the Princess’s royal biographer。
As reported in media outlets such as Entertainment Weekly， The Mary Sue， Refinery 29， Bustle， and more， from March until June of 2020， sixteen entries of the princess’s diary were leaked onto Ms。 Cabot’s blog， to the delight of over a million fans。
In these entries， titled The Coronavirus Princess Diaries， the princess recorded her most heartfelt emotions while dealing with her husband’s quarantine after exposure to the virus; her personal （and political） battles while imposing health restrictions on her small European nation; life during lockdown （even in as idyllic a location as a palace on the Riviera）; and of course， dealing with her demanding royal family， especially her grandmother。
Since then， readers have been clamoring for more chapters of Mia’s coronavirus diary 。 。 。 and here they are at last: The Quarantine Princess Diaries include not only the previously released entries （now edited and updated with new content）， but two hundred more pages of entirely original， never-before-seen entries， including the princess’s worries over a possible royal affair; a showdown between Mia and Grandmère over the latter’s intended nuptials; the eventual development and distribution of a groundbreaking intranasal vaccine for every citizen in Genovia; and， as always， a royally happy ending。
After all we’ve been through， what could be more comforting for any lover of royal romance than snuggling up with a brand new installment of the diary of Mia Thermopolis， the princess who started it all

I was really excited to get my hands on this book。 I grew up reading the Princess Dairies series， so I was thrilled to have another book in the series。 I think as far as continuity goes， Cabot really does well with keeping up the voice and tone of each of her characters in this series。 I flew through this book， because it really was like nothing had changed since I read the last book （even though that was years ago）。 That being said， as I read I did continuously have this feeling of wishing that I was really excited to get my hands on this book。 I grew up reading the Princess Dairies series， so I was thrilled to have another book in the series。 I think as far as continuity goes， Cabot really does well with keeping up the voice and tone of each of her characters in this series。 I flew through this book， because it really was like nothing had changed since I read the last book （even though that was years ago）。 That being said， as I read I did continuously have this feeling of wishing that something had changed， at least a bit。 In this book， Mia and I roughly around the same age。 Mia's voice in the book is very similar to how she was written earlier in the series， like the teenage girl that she was。 I think what I wished for in this novel was book was like a leveled up， 30's voice for Mia。 That's really the only thing that bothered me about this， was missing that perhaps Mia was a bit more mature sounding。 Otherwise， this book was a pleasure and fit in well with the rest of the series。 。。。more

Trochu iné a také "dospelejšie" ako som čakala， som veľmi prekvapená， že Mia ako známy hypochonder zbytočne nestresovala a skôr ona bola hlas rozumu。 Aj keď na podklade skutočných udalostí， príbeh sa odohráva vo fiktívnej malej krajine s postavami， ktoré nemajú úplne realistické problémy， ktoré ale tentokrát nie sú až také zábavné。 To mi možno trochu vadilo， aj keď sa kniha venovala skôr psychickým a emočným veciam （a celkom reálnym）， ktoré vytvárali absurdné situácie， nebola to taká oddychovka， Trochu iné a také "dospelejšie" ako som čakala， som veľmi prekvapená， že Mia ako známy hypochonder zbytočne nestresovala a skôr ona bola hlas rozumu。 Aj keď na podklade skutočných udalostí， príbeh sa odohráva vo fiktívnej malej krajine s postavami， ktoré nemajú úplne realistické problémy， ktoré ale tentokrát nie sú až také zábavné。 To mi možno trochu vadilo， aj keď sa kniha venovala skôr psychickým a emočným veciam （a celkom reálnym）， ktoré vytvárali absurdné situácie， nebola to taká oddychovka， na aké som zvyknutá。 Možno ešte uplynulo málo času， aby sme to celé brali tak zábavne， niektoré veci až príliš reálne popisovali， čo sme prežívali v roku 2020。 Ale je to proste Denník princeznej， už len z čistej nostalgie nemôžem byť nespokojná。 。。。more

I am in a reading rut and wanted a no brainer to get me out of it。 I usually lean towards commercial fiction for this and I got what I needed from this book。There's nothing deep or special and it's a little nostalgic as I used to read Princess Diaries as a teenager。Overall， an almost average book but it does the trick for me。 I am in a reading rut and wanted a no brainer to get me out of it。 I usually lean towards commercial fiction for this and I got what I needed from this book。There's nothing deep or special and it's a little nostalgic as I used to read Princess Diaries as a teenager。Overall， an almost average book but it does the trick for me。 。。。more

This was a cute， casual read。 I LOVE The Princess Diaries and naturally had to read this， but it wasn’t anything too special。 Of course， people are all up in arms that it’s “too political” or “anti-American”， but those are the people who don’t want to be told they’re being selfish。 I can see how it was a bit over the top and virtue signaling at times， but honestly， how are you supposed to write about a RULER OF A （fake） EUROPEAN COUNTRY DURING A COVID OUTBREAK and NOT make it political？ Her enti This was a cute， casual read。 I LOVE The Princess Diaries and naturally had to read this， but it wasn’t anything too special。 Of course， people are all up in arms that it’s “too political” or “anti-American”， but those are the people who don’t want to be told they’re being selfish。 I can see how it was a bit over the top and virtue signaling at times， but honestly， how are you supposed to write about a RULER OF A （fake） EUROPEAN COUNTRY DURING A COVID OUTBREAK and NOT make it political？ Her entire existence as a princess is political。 You had to know that going into it， and if you’re going to get that triggered over the audacity of a ruler who wants to protect her country’s people， maybe don’t read it？ 💁🏻♀️ 。。。more

I’m just so upset how this book ended up taking a turn。 I was looking forward to reading it， but after reading the first few journal entry’s I was bored。 I felt that Meg lacked effort in this book。 It could have been better， maybe I thought it was average because I’m over COVID。 Then again I love the PDS that I was looking forward to a new book of hers。 Do I recommend？ No not really， your not missing anything。 Pretty much what the title says 。

It's always fun to revisit old friends， but I will admit， Mia's superficiality has grown a little old after 12 books and who knows how many fictional years。 Maybe it's just because of the setting in this one - I don't think many of us are ready to relive the pandemic any time soon。 In any case， while I liked this one， I didn't love it。 Actual rating: 3。5 stars。 It's always fun to revisit old friends， but I will admit， Mia's superficiality has grown a little old after 12 books and who knows how many fictional years。 Maybe it's just because of the setting in this one - I don't think many of us are ready to relive the pandemic any time soon。 In any case， while I liked this one， I didn't love it。 Actual rating: 3。5 stars。 。。。more

Mia: Why are you booing me？ I’m right！Fun and entertaining。 It reveals a lot of what Mia has been editing out of her previous journals。 It’d have been a quicker read from me if it had not been for all the Covid PTSD。 The ending seemed to wrap up a little too quickly so I think a couple more entries to round it out could have helped。 Still， I loved being in this world again。 It was a complete surprise in 2020 when the blog posts went up and the an even bigger surprise when the book came out。 If a Mia: Why are you booing me？ I’m right！Fun and entertaining。 It reveals a lot of what Mia has been editing out of her previous journals。 It’d have been a quicker read from me if it had not been for all the Covid PTSD。 The ending seemed to wrap up a little too quickly so I think a couple more entries to round it out could have helped。 Still， I loved being in this world again。 It was a complete surprise in 2020 when the blog posts went up and the an even bigger surprise when the book came out。 If another Princess Diaries book were to be released， I’d snatch it in a heartbeat。 。。。more

Who is the audience for this book？ All the characters are insufferable and have not matured since the first couple of books， especially Mia， and no young readers who started the series recently will want to read about this parent in her 30s， even though she behaves like a teen。

Mercifully done。 That one extra star was purely for nostalgia。 I'll be blunt about it I was already kind grimacy about this one before I read it。 I read the blog entries and they were entertaining enough， but to make a book about COVID in general is just a little eye roll worthy。 I am still detoxing from those we're all in this together commercials that blared the first half of 2020 before the PPP loans dried up and greed went out the wazoo and inflation occurred as a result。Spoiler alert， Mia h Mercifully done。 That one extra star was purely for nostalgia。 I'll be blunt about it I was already kind grimacy about this one before I read it。 I read the blog entries and they were entertaining enough， but to make a book about COVID in general is just a little eye roll worthy。 I am still detoxing from those we're all in this together commercials that blared the first half of 2020 before the PPP loans dried up and greed went out the wazoo and inflation occurred as a result。Spoiler alert， Mia has toilet paper int his book。 Not that that should be brought up。The book thought takes place in an era of time that I think most people would like to forget。 The characters at best feel like caricatures of their usual selves。 COVID is the plot line and the characters are mainly just there。 Michael apparently now can make vaccines in additional to robotic arms， being a musical genius， and looking like a male model。。。。Judith Gershner of fruit fly fame makes a cameo because。。。conflict， reasons？Honestly， this book should not exist。 Mia herself goes from feeling like she's fifteen to fifty。 She doesn't feel her age， and doesn't even really interact with her own kids。 Being dubbed a baby licker when Rocky was born you'd think she talk more about her crouch demons。 But instead， she is making policy decisions （despite being a figure head） and complaining about Grandmere （who is beyond stale at this point）。 Oh， and we are told how she is totally grey now without hair dye even though she's probably not even 30 （and yes， I know some people are prematurely grey but come on）。 Worse though， this book was extremely preachy。Cabot's always had the tendency。 Ready or Not， for example， is essentially a sex ed book and a sex positive book and nothing much else。 And I get it being from a very red state， she is probably beyond frustrated with some of the policies Florida has enacted now。 However， I don't need it ham-fisted in a book that is suppose to get my mind off of the world。 Also， if we were going to talk about current events why not have Mia address the elephant in the room-aka Grandmere invited Trump to her mother's wedding in book two。Really， if you're a fan of this series I don't know if I can really recommend it to you。 I thought Royal Wedding ended on such a strong note-there was an actual plot there and character development。 This book is just about Mia being a lush， over eating， needing to get some Lady Clairol， and needing to put Grandmere in a home。I sort of hope there's no more entries but at the same time I don't really want the series to end on this note。It's really because Cabot can do better。 Her book last year was a thousand times more readable than this slop。 And yes， there was some preachiness there but it was tame compared to this。 。。。more
