Princess Mia doesn’t know what to do. Just when she thought her Junior year of high school was going to be tolerable, the rug is pulled out from beneath her when a) she has to take pre-calculus AND chemistry, b) she gets a regrettable haircut that has everyone calling her Peter Pan and most painfully, c) HER BOYFRIEND MICHAEL IS MOVING AWAY TO JAPAN. FOR A YEAR. OR MORE!

Apparently while Mia was away during the summer in Genovia, Michael created a prototype of a surgical mechanical arm that could save thousands of lives by allowing people to have heart surgery without opening their chests. But what about her? What is she supposed to do while he’s on the other side of the planet FOR A WHOLE YEAR? OR MORE!

Mia’s got to find a way to make Michael stay in New York with her… but what could possibly change his mind? There’s only one thing that he’s asked for that she hasn’t given him—sex. But should she do it? She wanted to wait until prom, but if he’s going to be gone and doesn’t even want to go to prom if he was staying, why wait? But can she do it? Should she do it? Of course she loves him and he loves her… but he’s going to have to see her, you know. Naked. Without clothes on. Eek! What will Mia do?

Check out Princess on the Brink by Meg Cabot today or even better, listen to the audio! It’s a quick read that will have you giggling and rolling your eyes as Mia tries to make the biggest decision of her teen life.
