Description

People Best New Book The inside story of the making of Mean Girls – and our enduring 20-year obsession with it Released in 2004, iconic teen comedy Mean Girls remains as relevant now as ever. But what made an adaptation of a parenting guide by SNL writer Tina Fey so successful? And why, two decades later, can we all just not stop quoting it? Drawing on revealing interviews with the director, cast and crew, Jennifer Keishin Armstrong takes us behind the scenes of the film’s genesis, production and release. From how it shaped the Millennial generation to how it has intertwined with tabloid, meme and LGBTQ+ culture, So Fetch is also the first deep dive into what makes Mean Girls such an influential phenomenon. Part love letter, part cultural commentary, this is an unmissable read for anyone who is still ‘like, obsessed’ with all things Mean Girls twenty years on.

Author Biography:

Jennifer Armstrong grew up in the southwest suburbs of Chicago, where she spent most of her time putting on shows in her parents' garage, studying TV Guide, devouring Sweet Valley High books, lip-synching to Debbie Gibson, and memorising every note of every George Michael song. This finally came in handy when she got a job at Entertainment Weekly, where she worked for a decade. She now writes for several publications, including Billboard, New York, Refinery29, and Dame. She is the author of Sex and the City and Us: How Four Single Women Changed the Way We Think, Live, and Love, the New York Times bestseller Seinfeldia: How a Show About Nothing Changed Everything, and Mary and Lou and Rhoda and Ted: And All the Brilliant Minds Who Made The Mary Tyler Moore Show a Classic.
