Riding in Cars with Boys [Book n Movie]

Complicated, confusing, much like life.

When your 15!!
It's a bare all memoir. And like real life, it doesn't have a story that shows pure redemption. She just narrates every turn and twist on her journey from being a 15 year old mother to the imperfect present relationship with her son. You go what!! then you empathise and sometimes you feel sad knowing that one wrong decision would have taken you through the same path.

Drew Barrymore is great in the movie and sometimes a little too good. Because certain scenes in the book you don't imagine with the same gut wrenching intensity that she shows in the movie. Bad life, good book.

6/10
