I could definitely see how this might be annoying for some. It also makes way more popular cultural references than I like, and which are obviously outdated, but listening to the audiobook read by Ann Hathaway, it was pretty enjoyable. Hathaway does the reading exceptionally, and while it might appeal more to teenagers, I was still able to enjoy it and thought Cabot did a pretty good job. It was interesting to see how it differed from the movie (such as her dad being alive, Lana becoming somewhat sympathetic towards the end, and her grandmother smoking just to name a few). I might continue listening to the audiobooks (at least the ones narrated by Hathaway) when I'm in the mood for something light.

The books are so superior to the movies, it's not even funny. Or to put it more diplomatically, the books are snarky and offbeat, while the movie is more sentimental.
I love this series with my whole heart. Epistolary novels are one of my favourite kinds of fiction, and it's a subgenre that Cabot does so well. With each year I re-enter the mixed-up world of Mia, I once again pour over her and Lily's funny 'lists' of men and movies, delight in her secret crush of Michael, and reignite my own girl-crush on her fierce, awesome Mom. I also feel such a kinship with Tina Hakim Baba, a hopeless romantic and romance fan after my own heart. Rereading this series will never, ever stop being fun.
