Summary from Goodreads. I’m sure some of us saw the Lindsay Lohan movie back in the day before she got all crazy. How many of you knew it as based on a book? Well it was. I don’t remember much about the book or the movie aside from it was filled with young adult drama and angst. Ahhh the good old days.
While I’m sure it’s not, this sounds exactly like every other made-for-tv movie the Disney Channel puts out lately.
Ha! It kind of does. Man, I loved those type of movies as a kid.
To answer your question on Twitter, no. I work at a library but we have kind of the same smell as a bookstore.
