Princess Mia Thermopolis enters her senior year with everything seemingly perfect. She completed her secret romance novel project, earned acceptance to her preferred colleges, and has her eighteenth birthday celebration approaching. Prom and graduation loom ahead, along with Genovia's historic first elections. But complications multiply quickly. While everyone loves her current boyfriend J.P., Mia questions whether he's truly right for her. Her first love Michael returns from Japan, stirring up old feelings. Publishers reject her novel manuscript. Most troubling, her father trails in the Genovian polls behind her despised cousin René. As both her personal future and her kingdom's fate hang in uncertainty, Mia must make decisions that will shape not just her next four years but her entire life. The tenth installment of this bestselling series brings Mia's high school journey to its climactic conclusion.
