On the outside, Piper is the good girl, the happy girl. Her BFF thinks that popular, pretty-boy Mason is her John Cusack even if he hasn't really shown any interest. Bad boy Roman has always got under Piper's skin. But it's made worse when he moves in next door.

Piper is slowly feeling more comfortable with her anxiety, and only wishes she'd been more honest with her friends and family earlier. She's accepted that Roman won't be with her even if it hurts. But, her BFF tells her to give it one more try. So, she does and is surprised when it finally works.

This story would translate well to screen - many reviewers have said that it would make John Hughes proud and I would be totally honoured to see it up on the screen like his movies. 'Accidentally Perfect' has a universal message of self-acceptance, that mental illness isn't something to hide, and that being yourself is the best thing to do. I could see it with a contemporary setting but with nods to the 80s and 90s in the costumes and props - as a draw to both teens and older viewers. While it is set in an Australian small town, the story is easily transportable to any setting for the express purpose of it being more relatable to all audiences. It could work well as either a movie or a TV series - there are many involved characters and stories that could be fleshed out and explored. As a movie, there is a very concise story that can be adapted to suit the bigger screen. As a TV series, there are many threads that can be looked into and more emphasis placed on the central themes.
