Honestly, their break-up was a long time coming and I really think that Michael isn’t willing to be patient enough considering he’s 19 and dating a 16 year old.Īlso, it’s quite obvious rereading this post high-school that Lily has so many jealousy issues when it comes to Mia. The fact that Michael thought it was no big deal, especially considering he’s known Mia for so long, really left me disappointed in him. Michael had NO intention of telling her about being with Judith, and it’s really uncool to hide your dating and intimacy past, especially when your partner has been honest and upfront with you. But honestly, I think Mia has every right to be angry. Mia flies off the handle and everyone chastises her for it. When she finally admits her plan to share intimacy with Michael, he admits to her that he has already been with Judith Gershner (of fruit fly cloning fame). Mia frantically (if somewhat ridiculously) tries to think of a way to convince Michael to go to Japan. Mia is faced with the earth-shattering proposition at the beginning of the installment of being in a long-term relationship, as Michael is moving to Japan to develop a robotic surgical arm. Sure, Mia’s neurosis is in full force in this book, and she acts pretty immature about certain things, but I actually think beneath Mia’s obsessing she has some really valid points. While a lot of readers may see this as a tragic ending to a lot of long-standing features of the series, I found it really refreshing. This is the installment in The Princess Diaries where all of the long standing tensions and plot points really implode. But will she? Or won't she? No matter what, Mia seems headed for disaster. Her beloved boyfriend could be leaving for Japan for a year-or more! Precalc has nothing on preparing for the worst separation ever!Turns out there is one way she might convince Michael to stay. So why is it that everything is going so terribly wrong? What is she doing in Intro to Creative Writing? When she has made it through Algebra and Geometry, why must she be faced with Precalculus? All this is nothing compared to the news Michael springs on her, however.
