If you’re anything like me, Mean Girls is one of those movies that I always watch when it comes up as I’m flipping through channels, or more likely now, Netflix. To celebrate Mean Girls day (“On October 3rd, he asked me what day it was.”), we put together a list of books we think you’ll enjoy if you’ve also seen the movie approximately 37 times.
