The Princess Diaries

"There is a school of thought that says reading should be entertaining, and this is exactly what Meg Cabot produces for us: fun. She is the master of her genre; she is the George Bernard Shaw, if not the George Eliot of [her genre]."

"Through her books and heroines, Cabot offered escapism and empowerment right when I needed it most."

"Reading her journal is like reading a note from your best friend. Cabot has . . . an off-the-wall sense of humor that will have readers laughing out loud and a knack for creating fully realized characters that readers will miss when the story ends."
