(5/49) A book published this year : Royal Wedding (The Princess Diaries # 11) by Meg Cabot

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.

Meh.
That's the only thing I have to say after finishing this book. Meh.
I mean.. Okay let me start from the beginning.
I was SUPER excited when I picked this book up from the Public Library (maybe that's where the problem started - when you expect too much, you're always disappointed). I started reading it that very evening (because an adult waits till she leaves her work place to start reading a new book). It was great! All my beloved characters going about their business - it was like catching up with them after a gap of some years. It was delightful.
The book started out quite well - it made me laugh, made me tear up a teeeensy bit. But then. Too many 'things' happened, and then miraculously all those 'things' got sorted within less than 1/4th of the book.
That's my problem with this book. Don't get me wrong, I love Meg Cabot. The Princess Diaries series and all the characters will always have a special place in my heart. But whereas I grew up, the book obviously didn't. They didn't deal with the 'things' the way I expected them to. It was too idealistic, too perfect, too unrealistic.
Sorry Meg, I love you, but I didn't love this book.

PS - I still have a crush on Michael Moscovitz.
