The cure to feeling blue this Valentine's Day, December 13, 2006
This review is from: Valentine Princess (Princess Diaries, Vol. 7 3/4) (Hardcover)
Princess Mia is on her way to board a private jet so she can spend the summer in the country she will one day rule - Genovia - when she discovers that she can't find her precious journal. Upon searching for it, she stumbles upon the very first journal she ever kept, the one that recounts exactly how she spent her first Valentine's Day with Michael. And so we are brought back to when the two lovebirds first began dating. Mia is ecstatic that she finally has someone to spend the day of love with, but when she realizes that Michael is quite indifferent regarding the holiday, she feels as if her romantic plans are ruined. Suddenly, it becomes clear to her that she won't be receiving a simulated ruby encrusted necklace from Kay's Jewelers, or be taken out to a fancy restaurant, for a romantic candlelit dinner. No, it has finally become clear that Valentine's Day is not meant to be special this year. That is, until Kenny comes through with a Whitman's Sampler, sending Michael into a jealous funk, and giving him a reason to appreciate the wonderful Mia. But with Valentine's Day so close, Mia begins to wonder whether Michael will actually come through as her knight in shining armor, or if she'll be spending the night at Tina Hakim Baba's place watching old Audrey Hepburn films, and filling up on junk food.
Over the years, I feel as if I have grown up with Mia. She has been by my side since I was a mere ninth grader - such as herself - and has gone through tumultuous relationships, and other teenage problems right alongside me. Which is why VALENTINE PRINCESS is sure to leave an impact on die-hard PRINCESS DIARIES fans. Meg Cabot has, once again, confronted a subject that female readers will have no problem identifying with: being alone on Valentine's Day. VALENTINE PRINCESS confronts the problem, and brings to light the feelings we all share, as we find ourselves spending the holiday of love alone; while at the same time showing readers that we don't always need a guy by our side for Valentine's Day, as long as we have great friends. Featuring a wonderful list of Audrey Hepburn films that will make anyone's Valentine's Day a little less lonely, Cabot has penned yet another wonderful tale about the Albert Einstein High School gang that will leave all readers feeling a little less sorry for themselves. The cure to feeling blue this Valentine's Day.
