Game Night and the Eurovision movie have really endeared me to Rachel. I actually never read this book as a kid, somehow!! but I would actually be interested in the movie.

omg I really liked Abby Ryder Fortson as Cassie Lang, she and Paul Rudd were perfect as father and daughter and I’m gonna miss her on the new ant-man movie. It’ll be interesting to see her as a character like Margaret but I’m excited to see this movie finally get made. And with Rachel McAdams who is a delight every single time

Was it this book where the pads were worn with belts or was it the Alice books, anyone else read those?

Ok apparently there are a ton of Alice books now lol, I think the last one I read was Alice in April or the one after.

I think it was, I remember reading it in 6th grade and being like “wtf” when she described the belt that went with the pad lol

Yes, pads with belts is a thing in this book, lol

[pivotandsway]

yes but i believe they modified that as new editions of the book came out bc that eventually wasn't a thing and did not make sense to 90s kids for example lol

This book has been out like 50 years and that missing comma STILL BOTHERS THE SHIT OUT OF ME

[blorpz]

isn't it like an excerpt from her diary? she's too young to know better!
