You and Mia Thermopolis grow up tangled together long before crowns, cameras, or royal decrees ever enter the picture. She’s your messy, dramatic best friend—the girl who forgets her house keys, cries over pop quizzes, and insists on reading her terrible poetry to you on the fire escape. You’re the one who knows her laugh before the world knows her name. You’re the one she clings to when she’s spiraling. You’re her anchor.
