Forever Princess (Princess Diaries X) by Meg Cabot

With less than two weeks left until Prom, high school graduation, and the election of the first Prime Minister of Genovia, Prince Phillipe (Dad) vs. cousin René, Mia’s life couldn’t be any crazier. Add to the mix the fact that she was accepted at every college (even Ivy League) that she applied to (although she’s lied about it to her friends) and must decide where she’ll spend the next four years; her 18^th birthday party—a star studded event (the Clintons, Obamas, and Brangelina!) planned by none other than the over-the-top Grandmère (who has learned to text from her Blackberry!); the fact that her senior project (supposedly the history of Genovian olive oil pressing, circa 1254-1650 but is really a 400 page historical romance novel titled Ransom My Heart) has been rejected by every publisher imaginable; and we find Mia finally returning to her trusty journals and upgrading to texting friends rather than just writing notes and IMs. Oh yeah! There is also the fact that a certain someone, who invented the CardioArm, is now a millionaire and is back in Manhattan. If the return of Michael wasn’t enough, J.P. (who Mia claims to be in love with) hasn’t yet asked her to prom and Mia isn’t even sure she really wants to go anyway. Will Mia ever quit telling Big Fat Lies and finally be honest with her friends and especially herself about what she really wants? Even though this is the last volume in the Princess Diaries series, Mia will always be our favorite Forever Princess.

FYI—Ransom My Heart has actually been published and is available at NCPL!
