Description
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Princess Diaries series, comes the very first adult installment, which follows Princess Mia and her Prince Charming as they plan their fairy tale wedding—but a few poisoned apples could turn this happily-ever-after into a royal nightmare.
For Princess Mia, the past five years since college graduation have been a whirlwind of activity, what with living in New York City, running her new teen community center, being madly in love, and attending royal engagements. And speaking of engagements. Mia's gorgeous longtime boyfriend Michael managed to clear both their schedules just long enough for an exotic (and very private) Caribbean island interlude where he popped the question! Of course Mia didn't need to consult her diary to know that her answer was a royal oui.
But now Mia has a scandal of majestic proportions to contend with: Her grandmother's leaked "fake" wedding plans to the press that could cause even normally calm Michael to become a runaway groom. Worse, a scheming politico is trying to force Mia's father from the throne, all because of a royal secret that could leave Genovia without a monarch. Can Mia prove to everyone—especially herself—that she's not only ready to wed, but ready to rule as well?
A HarperAudio production.

Reviews
I’m rating this book a ⅘ because even though certain plot points of this novel seemed predictable and contrived, there were still a few surprises. I mean, how could Meg toy with our emotions and end the series like that? The readers need more.
Overall, “The Royal Wedding” was a fun and adorable read that was a tribute to my preteen years. I would absolutely recommend this novel to other adults who also grew up wishing that they were Mia Thermopolis.
I'm always going on about the way Pratchett has worked within the conventions of genre (in his case, fantasy) and crafted novels that are not only funny, but are deeply kind, with a warm glow of secular humanism. Cabot is performing the same trick within the conventions of modern chick lit. “For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbors, and laugh at them in our turn?” A good writer can make a reader laugh at the foibles of others, but a great writer is one who can also allow us to empathize. The most helpful writers even show us ways in which we can act on that empathy to become better humans. Thus endeth the lesson.
