Valentine Princess: A Princess Diaries Book by Meg Cabot (2006)


Plot Summary: At the end of the school year, right before Mia leaves to spend her summer in Genovia, she finds one of her old journals and decides to bring it to read on the plane.  The story takes readers back to Mia's first Valentine's Day with her boyfriend Michael.  Michael is strongly opposed to "exploitative commercialization," so Mia fears that she will be spending Valentine's Day alone.  She could always go to hang out with her friends who are boyfriendless and are planning to have an Audrey Hepburn movie marathon.  Mia decides that whether or not Michael will celebrate, she will still make him a valentine.  When even Lilly's boyfriend comes through with a beautiful gift, Mia wonders what Michael will do.  Will he get her flowers?  Candy?  Or just ignore the day altogether?  This sweet and funny story will keep readers of this series coming back for more.
