JAGGED LITTLE PILL To Be Adapted Into A Novel

Coauthored by Eric Smith, Alanis Morissette, Glen Ballard, and Diablo Cody, a YA novelization of Jagged Little Pill will hit bookshelves on April 26. Apparently this adaptation will focus more on the sexual assault subplot and how it affects each of the teenage characters, as opposed to the show's viewpoint on how it primarily affects the Healy family.

I can’t wait to not read this.

Yeah… no thanks.

I wonder if JLP will ever get a big screen adaptation.

I think the authors should enjoy the artistic freedom to write the characters any way they they see fit. Those who want a specific character to be written in any particular way, should write their own book.

I can’t say I’m surprised. I mean, it feels like every musical that resonates with young people gets adapted into a novel. Dear Evan Hansen has a novel and so does The Prom.

As I was writing, there were a few scenes in Jagged Little Pill that I can’t see adapting well (granted I can’t see the whole thing adapting well but still) the scene with Ironic comes to mind for some reason.
