Wow, this was really enjoyable and had me chortling with laughter! It's very true to the movie — the storyline and characters are exactly the same, and (almost) all the iconic quotes have been retained.

What makes this book special is also how the story is told from various POVs instead of just Cady's so it was very interesting and insightful.

There were also extra bits like shopping lists by Regina George's mother and Karen Smith's ideas for Halloween costumes etc etc, which made the book even more fun.

I think this book captured the essence of the original work very well and makes a great companion to the movie. Fans of Mean Girls will appreciate this.
