i think i read this back when the movie was out, but if i did, i still remember the movie more than the actual book. i read it again when i was staying with polly and feel kind of sad that the movie has stuck in my mind so much. i like this collection of stories about friendship and how things change after high school.
looking through polly’s books reminds me that i meant to read more than just the first volume of Skeleton Key by Andi Watson and never did.
(i realized later that it wasn’t totally random that i picked up this book again since i just saw Lost in Translation
, which stars Scarlett Johansson, who was also in the movie Ghost World.)

i love this book, even more than i loved the movie which i loved a lot! oh god, i am becoming brain mush from being trained by a girl who is veyr nice but also patronising in her tone because i didn’t know things about fixed assets. whatever, that’s not even my job. so yeah. me and my best friend were like those girls in our last year of school in a really horrible-to-everyone, unhappy way i think, but we had a great time, wagged a lot and spent a lot of time building sets and things that we weren’t strictly needed for. i wouldn’t do it over but i think i could have done it better. and i really really want to see lost in translation! argh!
