HEYO I AM PRINCESS X FANDOM (aka me and like 3 other people)
So I was rereading I am Princess X a couple weeks ago when I realized I didn’t know when the book takes place. It’s never actually mentioned in the book at all. So I started combing through pieces of pop culture mentioned to try and figure it out. Patrick uses some tech which would date the book, but not much. The iPad and Patrick’s use of Reddit means the book had to take place after 2010, but they’d still a decent chunk of time. After a while, I found something useful: a throwaway line at the end of Chapter 2 where May mentions ending the day by watching the Venture Bros. on Netflix with her dad. With a bit of digging, I discovered that the Venture Bros was added on Netflix after 2010 on September 15th 2014 and removed from Netflix on May 6th 2015. Now we know the book takes place in June because May finds the first Princess X sticker on June 1st. This means the book takes place in 2015, probably in an alternate universe where the Venture Bros wasn’t removed in May
