After two glorious (though somewhat hectic) semesters with her dad in New York City, Mimi must make good on her promise to her parents: summer break with her mom. But it seems going back to her cozy old life in Houston isn't in the cards. Instead, she's dragged off to Berlin, where her mother's been offered a fellowship. After a few weeks of a nightmare nanny job, it becomes clear that Mimi's European vacation isn't much of a vacation after all. On the verge of a nervous breakdown, she receives a call from Lily Morton, her friend from New York, who invites her to London, where an internship at a family friend's magazine awaits. Soon Mimi is at it again—living it up with glamorous friends, pursuing a new crush, and chasing down celebrities at her very entertaining job. For a while, Mimi's convinced she has it made. Never before has fitting in been so easy. If only it could stay that way. Mimi may have gotten a handle on the Empire State—but that's nothing compared to the state of the empire!

      Gr 7-10-Mimi, 16, leaves her dad in New York City for a mandatory visit with her academic-psychologist mother in Berlin. When confronted with the woman's complete inability to understand her, she heads for London, where her friend Lily is staying. She takes on an internship with a tabloid magazine, which propels her into the glamorousand ultimately seedyworld of late-night parties and gossiping about A-listers. Although similar to many recent teen series in their emphasis on fashion, British slang, and crushing on foreign boys, Mimi's world seems down-to-earth. Readers simply follow along, bad decisions and all, but life goes on. Several supporting characters are one-dimensional stereotypes added for the sake of humor; a horrid babysitter job foisted on Mimi in Berlin seems like an overused chick-lit cliché , and some of the story is a little hard to swallow, but teens looking for a lightweight read should enjoy this one, whether or not they've read the earlier books in the series."Rhona Campbell, Washington, DC Public Library"
