Read It and Weep

Jamie uses her tablet to keep a daily journal featuring Is and Myrna. The printer dies, and her brother Lenny won’t lend his; Lindsay offers to print if Jamie emails it. She accidentally sends the journal instead, setting the stage for the book-to-life sequence.

Lindsay prints the journal and turns it in for Jamie's assignment. It wins a writing contest and is published as a book, bringing Jamie unexpected publicity and attention she never asked for.

Jamie becomes a bestseller and begins appearing at book signings, on reality TV shows, and in interviews. She meets stars she had always wanted to meet, fueling a growing sense of stardom and distance from her old life.

With success, Jamie grows more materialistic and careless about her friends. She quits her job at her father’s pizza place, ridicules Lenny’s guitar, and chases fame over loyalty.

During a televised interview, Jamie unintentionally reveals that the book's antagonist is based on Sawyer and that much of her life inspired the story. The revelation makes her personal journal feel even more exposed.

Classmates realize the book mirrors Jamie's feelings about school and begin to distance themselves. She tries to repair the relationships by apologizing to Lenny and encouraging him to take up his guitar again.

Jamie overhears her parents discussing the possibility of closing down the family pizza parlor. The potential loss deepens her guilt and motivates a desire to make amends.

As the ocean-themed school dance approaches, Jamie confronts Is, the figment of her imagination, and tells her to stop influencing her actions. The confrontation marks a step toward reclaiming control over her life.

Jamie goes to the dance and attempts to apologize to everyone. At first, forgiveness is hard to come by, but people begin to soften once they learn the book was Jamie's personal journal and not a deliberate diary to harm others.

Jamie finds Connor leaving and discovers that the poems attributed to Marco were written by Connor. She realizes her crush on Marco was really a reflection of her feelings for Connor.

Jamie and Connor reconcile, and they return to the dance where Lenny performs a heartfelt song dedicated to Jamie. The moment signals a renewed sense of friendship and belonging.

Jamie invites everyone to eat at her parents' pizza parlor. Lenny’s seaweed-covered jacket accidentally lands on some pizzas, creating a quirky but popular topping. The moment helps Jamie's father see a path to saving the business.

With the crisis resolved, the family business survives and Jamie mends her relationships. She learns to balance fame with the people who truly matter in her life.
