Descripción editorial
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?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Cabot's charming 12th foray into the world of the Princess Diaries (after Royal Wedding) injects levity and light into life in lockdown. The conceit is this: at the height of the Covid pandemic, Princess Mia Thermapolis of Genovia shared select portions of her diary with Cabot, her royal biographer, first published on Cabot's blog and now expanded into this full-length volume, detailing how Mia's crazy family coped during quarantine. Though being stuck in the Genovian royal palace isn't the worst fate—and Mia does love getting to do diplomacy in sweats over Zoom calls—Mia feels overwhelmed running the principality when all she really wants is some alone time with her husband, Michael, who's been forced to self-isolate after exposure to the virus. Meanwhile, her grandmother recklessly declines to stay at home and her relatives still scheme to steal her throne. There's an unabashed silliness to the proceedings, with Princess Mia's oversized imagination and anxiety driving most of the drama. Cabot successfully finds joy in a difficult time.
