Summary:
It's Mia's first thanksgiving...her first thanksgiving with her new step dad (aka her algebra teacher) and as a princess that is. Mia talks all about how she has to get up super early so she, her mom, and Mr. G could drive all the way to Long Island to have thanksgiving dinner with her new step-grandparents. After that, she had to get all dressed up in a ballgown to go and have her first "royal" thanksgiving with her dad and grandmother at the Plaza Hotel. Let's just say she had an exhausting day.
Once Mia is finished explaining her detailed thanksgiving day, she goes right into telling us about her new boyfriend Kenny. She explains that she doesn't even like Kenny (as a boyfriend) and that she actually is like in love with someone else. Her best friend Lilly's older brother, Michael. Anyways, she talks about how she's waited practically her whole life to get a boyfriend, and now that she has one she doesn't even want him to kiss her. The only reason she is keeping Kenny around is because she doesn't want to hurt his feelings, she needs help for her biology final, and she wants to go to the Christmas dance with a date (but he hasn't even asked her yet). The next thing she writes in her diary about is when she, Kenny, Lilly and her boyfriend, and Tina and her boyfriend all went ice skating at Rockefeller center. Mia got super upset when Michael showed up at the ice rink with some girl named Judith. Mia instantly gets that feeling of pure jealousy toward Judith.
The next day, Kenny calls Mia to ask how her tongue was doing (see, she fell while ice skating and bit it really hard, so it's been a little sore) and before her hung up, he told Mia that he loves her. Mia didn't know how to respond, so she just said "well, um, okay". and hung up. She felt bad, but not bad enough to tell Kenny that she loves him too. At school the next day, Mia tells Lilly what Kenny said to her, but Lilly doesn't believe her. So, she confides in Tina, who does believe her. Tina asks Mia whether or not she loves Kenny back and Mia was brutally honest and told Tina all about her HUGE crush on Michael. Tina was all like "oooh! I knew it!" and was totally and completely supportive of Mia. After her little talk with Tina, Mia decides that it's time to break up with Kenny once and for all...well she plans on doing this until her princess lesson with her grandmother changes her mind.
At the lesson, Mia's grandmother notices that something is going on with Mia and orders Mia to tell her what is the matter. Mia explains her whole situation with Kenny and her grandmother basically told her it would be wrong to break up with Kenny right before finals because it might influence his grades and he could fail. Well, Mia had never thought of that before, so she decides that she will wait until after the Christmas dance (that is if Kenny ever decides to ask her) before she breaks up with him.
Response:
I am absolutely loving this book so far, it is probably my favorite one yet :) See, I am such a romantic, so I knew that I was going to love this book right from when I read the title. I mean it's got the word LOVE in it, so you know it's going to be good! For some strange reason I find love drama extremely fascinating. My favorite kind of books always involve a character who has serious love life drama. And boy does Mia have drama in this one. I mean, she's dating a total dweeb, but is in love with this hottie who just happens to be her best friends older brother, so it's not like she can talk boys to Lilly...talk about AWKWARD! And what about this Judith girl? Michael can't seriously be into her, but still, Mia thinks he is, so now she's all paranoid that she and Michael will never get to be together. Ahhh...drama :) I can't wait to see how things play out in the end!
