It did not age well. But it is filled with nostalgia.
Michael is trash, I do not take criticism. Lily is a terrible friend. Her dad is childish. Her grandmother should have a rotveiler instead of a miny poodle. Mia is judgmental. I know I grew up with these books, so thank gods movies were better.

I won’t be posting this on my blog individually because I don’t have a lot to say about them seeing as they’ve been out for so long but honestly this book was exactly what I needed to get out of my slump.
It’s silly, childish, and just all around feel good.
Obviously written for a much younger me but it was nice to feel like that 15 year old watching the movie for the first time again.
Me thinks I have a new comfort book at the moment.
