I just read the newest Meg Cabot book, Avalon High. Her books are my weakness, they fulfill my need for teen drama. Give me a volume of The Princess Diaries series, The Mediator series, or anything of hers for that matter, and I go nuts. She is what I spend my Barnes and Noble gift cards on more often than not. Yes, I admit, it is slightly sad. But I love them. A lot.
Every time I read one of Cabot's novels, or almost any other teen novel, I start to wonder why real life can't be that way. Ok, again, I must be losing my mind. But if you really think about it, the girl always ends up with the guy, and everything is happy in the end. It makes my life seem boring. I mean, in All American Girl, Sam saves the president's life, becomes the Teen Ambassador to the UN, and finds out that David, the president's son, likes her back, all while becoming an incredible artist and discovering who she really is. The Princess Diaries series is almost the same, except Mia finds out she is the princess of a small European country, then she also gets the guy, in this case her best friend's older brother. Ok, not so realistic, but it really makes me yearn for that kind of life.
I mean, who wouldn't want to get everything they want in the end? Life would be so nice. Call me crazy, but this is kinda my fantasy, to have the perfect teen novel life.
And while I'm at it, a shout out to Meg Cabot--Keep it up, and if you get a chance, could you rewrite my life?

Ashley, one day you ought to write a book about how your life should go..I think you'd find it's a lot like your life now. In fact, every time I see you, I think: Meg Cabot girl. You seriously remind me of Samantha, I'm not kidding.
