MY REVIEW :
This book is mainly based on Mia Thermopolis life in a society with interesting melodramas. I liked the writing style as the story started with a letter written by Mia to a dead person, asking advice to achieve “self-actualization” and progressed as her daily diary entries. It is so different from the typical YA romance fictions because it’s dealt with the real problem that a teenager could face in her lifetime. This story flawlessly portrays a girl’s mental conflicts, her egos, her unwanted doubts she would meet during her teenage times. several portions in the books which were unnecessarily explained which I found a waste of time. It was a light-heartened read for me and I am not much impressed with it as well.
