"Will we ever get tired of watching Cher navigate Beverly Hills high school and discover true love in the movie Clueless? As if! Written by Amy Heckerling and starring Alicia Silverstone, Clueless is an enduring comedy classic that remains one of the most streamed movies on Netflix, Amazon, and iTunes even twenty years after its release. Inspired by Jane Austen's Emma, Clueless is an everlasting pop culture staple. In the first book of its kind, Jen Chaney has compiled an oral history of the making of this iconic film using recollections and insights collected from key cast and crew members involved in the making of this endlessly quotable, ahead-of-its-time production. Get a behind-the-scenes look at how Emma influenced Heckerling to write the script, how the stars were cast into each of their roles, what was involved in creating the costumes, sets, and soundtrack, and much more" --

Mmm, I skimmed this a lot. It turns out that as much as I love Clueless, I maybe really only love it like “lengthy magazine article” level? There are definitely a lot of fun anecdotes in here, and someone who's more specifically interested in the movie industry or w/e might really appreciate it.
Also, again–I love Clueless and have seen it many times, but this book really seemed to assume that I have the whole movie memorized scene for scene, which is not quite the level I'm at. But I enjoyed skimming this and definitely want to re-watch the movie now.
