So Fetch: The Making of Mean Girls (and why we’re still obsessed with it) is exactly what you would expect from the title. It provides looks behind how the movie came to be, and how the cast was chosen and how they interacted. It also (briefly) discusses the different decisions made behind costuming/set/ etc, which I would have liked more of. The book examines the messaging (and how some of it aged poorly) and why the generations than have followed still can relate to it and enjoy the story.
It was overall interesting. At times it was a little repetitive and while I understand the author wanted to book to be accessible to everyone, the many recaps of what happens in Mean Girls felt unnecessary. Is anyone picking this up this doesn’t know the movie well?
The narrator for the audiobook did a good job.
