I've read two books in this series (The Princess Diaries and Princess in the Spotlight) and two mini-books in this series (Project Princess and The Princess Present), and they're pretty good books but I doubt I will read any of the others.
At first, the hysterical "Good grief, could my life GET any weirder?" tone is funny, but it ultimately starts to wear on you. Princess Mia's best friend Lilly is also funny at first, but ultimately I got tired of her antics and wondered why she couldn't chill out and be a better friend.
Cabot's strength is that she has nicely captured the tone and content of a teenage girl's diary. I kept a journal on and off through middle and high school, and about half of the entries started off with, "Today is boring," and the other half started off with, "I can't believe nobody asked me to prom!!!" or "What was Mr. Kelly THINKING, giving us a pop quiz on today of all days?????!!!!!"
