Movie Girl is a quick, comforting, hilarious read for mothers, daughters, grandmothers, or anyone who remembers what it is like to have a hopeless crush. High school sophomore, Laurie Preston, idolizes a senior boy named Artie and plans every minute of her day scheming to run into him in hopes that he will finally realize that they are meant to be together. This is a heartwarming book that teenagers will relate to or that older generations can reminisce over. Christina Hamlett artfully creates a universal story while maintaining originality through her developed characters.
I absolutely loved the journal entries that begin each chapter. They present a genuine teenage voice, and I’m sure some of my entries from when I was fifteen would mirror the same themes. I especially love that Laurie obsesses over the tiniest things when it comes to Artie (like remembering Artie’s favorite soda and snack foods). These small details really make the story come to life. Mothers, daughters, and grandmothers will bond over this book, as older generations will look at Laurie’s predicaments with wisdom and humor, and younger generations will see parallels from their own lives. Readers will truly feel like a part of Laurie’s world and definitely want more when the book ends!
I read this book. I fond it is hilarious .In this author clearly explained how to develop our character and all those things .I suggested my friends to read this book .

There are a lot of sites out there showing book video. BookVideoTV, BookTelevision and of course CSPAN, but I like how BN.com and Reader's Entertainment TV have specific genre channels and original shows. There's just more to see and I can be specific in what genre I'm interested in. Anyone else watch online tv?
