Gr 7-10-In Meg Cabot's tenth installment (HarperTeen, 2009) inthe series, Mia is a senior in high school with prom, graduation, and college decisions looming. But her attention is firmly focused on getting her romance novel, which she wrote as her senior project and submitted using a pen name, published. Her friends think that her project was a study of the history of Genovian olive oil and that she has not been accepted to any colleges other than one in Genovia. Mia calls these her "big lies." She is also juggling her boyfriend, her Dad's election, her plans to lose her virginity on prom night, her ex-boyfriend Michael, and her confusing feelings about everything. Peppered with segments from her romance novel, listeners follow Mia through the melodrama of it all. Clea Lewis is perfect in tone, pitch, voicing, and pacing for each character. However, swallowing and breathing can be heard during transitions between several scenes. A popular purchase for fans of the series.-Stephanie A.
