Princess Mia, now a high-school junior, is reeling after her boyfriend, Michael, announces that he is heading to Japan for a year. If they have sex, will he stay? "To use sex as a means to manipulate someone" goes against Mia's principles, but she considers it anyway. Predictably, surprises and misunderstandings disrupt her plans, and Grandmere is salty and as controversial as ever: "Virginity is no GIFT. You can't even WEAR it." Series fans will enjoy the usual comedy and the larger questions about sex and relationships. Gillian Engberg Copyright © American Library Association.
