Fast forward two decades, and her books about middle school drama and complicated friendships have become a beloved staple for readers both young and old.
The series, centered on Claire Lyons and her complicated friendship with a wealthy group called the Pretty Committee, was a hit at middle and high schools nationwide.
Her understanding of the series’ cultural impact grew when the 2008 movie adaptation, starring actress Ellen Marlow as Claire, hit theaters. Then, a resurgence on Netflix in 2021 introduced the story to a whole new generation, once again surprising Harrison.
"I am much older than these fictional characters are,” Harrison said, “and can say that in your 50s, friend drama does not cease to exist. It becomes more insane. Because you think, 'Aren't we over this yet?' We're not. It just won't stop."
Though Harrison said she “loves all [her] characters,” she shared that the Clique girls “feel like home and most represent my soul.”
Partnering again with Marlow, Harrison is ready to show that the challenges of middle school friendship don’t disappear.
"College is over. You're living on your own. Can you afford it? Who are my friends now? It doesn't stop, and then you bring wedding drama into it. It is a series of us trying to figure out how to treat each other well, and how not to lose ourselves in the process."
"This whole 'how do I deal with friend drama' is very underserved and unnecessary," Harrison said. "Why now? Because you need it now. At the very least, let's see ourselves reflected to us so we can see how crazy it is. Feel less alone in it. Feel more connected to each other through it. It feels relevant for those reasons, because it never ends and it's always relevant."
