Royal Crush by Meg Cabot - OPTIONAL

Cabot, Meg Royal Crush (Middle School Princess #3), 314 pages.  Feiwel & Friends (Macmillan), 2018.  $17.  Content: G.

Olivia, Princess of Genovia is getting ready for the birth of her older sister Mia’s twins and her own thirteenth birthday party.  Plus, she is having problems with her friendship with Prince Khalil – does he even want to be friends.  Add in the drama with her cousin Luisa and having GrandMere act as a chaperone on the school trip to the Royal School Winter Games – Olvia has too amny things to worry a bout within a very short period of time.

Cabot catches middle school drama to a point where it is almost painful to read.  The diary is a bit weird format – especially when Olivia mentions she is writing while riding up the ski chairlift – what?! Or while sitting a lunch in the school dining room? The entitlement that Olivia has started buying into is beginning to become grating.  It might be time to wrap up this series.
