I feel a bit guilty for giving it such a low rating, but I really wasn't all that interested in the book as it turned out. 
 I read Royal Wedding just over a week ago and adored it, so I was very excited about buying myself a copy of this. It didn't live up to my expectations though. 
 I understand that I'm not the target audience, and maybe that's the problem here. I imagined this spin-off series would be closer to the Princess Diaries, which I love as much as an adult as I did as a teen. This is a much shinier, kid friendly book. Whereas Mia was sarcastic and looked at life through a slightly more cynical lense, Olivia is very sweet and innocent. 
 I don't dislike her as a character, I just feel like I could give this book to a seven year old and they'd like it, whereas I couldn't say the same for the original series. 
 I'll keep reading because I do think the series has potential.
