The Princess Diaries volume II: Princess in the Spotlight...pgs. 124-192

by: Meg Cabot

Summary:
When Mia got back from the disastrous visit with her grandmother, she planned to tell her mom that she and Mr. G needed to elope right away, but she got distracted because her mom told her that her interview was about to come on TV.  Mia pretty much bombed the interview.  After it was over, Lilly called and told Mia that she was basically an idiot for saying what she did about their high school.  The only people that seemed to enjoy the interview were Mr. G, Mia's mom, and Mia's friend Tina.  

Due to the havoc Mia created at school because of the interview, she completely forgot to tell her mom about the wedding that her grandmother was planning.  She suddenly remembered when she got home from Princess lessons one day to find her mamaw, papaw, and cousin Hank sitting in her kitchen.  They had said that Mia's grandmother invited them up, free of charge, for the wedding.  Mia's mom gets so upset and makes Mia's dad get her parents a hotel so she doesn't have to deal with them. 

The next day Mia had to take Hank to school with her, and literally all of the girls were alllll over him! Mia  thought it was kind of disturbing, especially when Lilly started flirting with him during lunch.  Once, Mia got to her study hall she reeaaallly started freaking out...why you may ask?...because Lilly and Hank were missing! Apparently they ditched school so Lilly could give him a tour of New York, but Mia thought they were in love and went to go make out somewhere...I'm sure it's what all teenage girls think their best friends are doing with their cousins haha.

Summary:
Here is a part of the book that I found pretty funny.  A brief description of what has happened: This is just when Mia starts thinking that Lilly and her cousin Hank went off to do "bad" stuff (if you know waht I mean)

"They'll have to get married, and then Lilly will have to go live in Indiana in a trailer park, because that's where all teen mothers live. And she'll be wearing Wal-Mart housedresses and smoking Kools while Hank goes off to the rubber tire factory and makes five fifty and hour."

wait what?!?! hahaha I laughed when I read this part, Meg Cabot totally bashed Indiana without even realizing it. I mean c'mon, this is a prejudiced statement if you ask me.  This makes Indiana look really white-trashy and reeaallyy bad.  I think I just found it to be so funny, since you know, I live in Indiana, and I personally don't get this mental image when I think about my state...
