Here is another statement, this time from Architect partner Calum Gray, about the project:
“We are hugely excited to share ’99 Days’ with buyers. As Alloy did so brilliantly with ‘Purple Hearts,’ every element of this movie is beautifully tailored for its young adult audience: a white-hot bestseller, an award-winning writer-director team who’ve delivered for younger audiences, and, in McKenna and Asher, breakout stars of their teen generation. Shepherded by Les and Elysa, ’99 Days’ is the perfect escapist, aspirational and emotional movie for YA audiences right now.”
Here is the goodreads synopsis of 99 Days:
Day 1: Julia Donnelly eggs my house my first night back in Star Lake, and that’s how I know everyone still remembers everything—how I destroyed my relationship with Patrick the night everything happened with his brother, Gabe. How I wrecked their whole family. Now I’m serving out my summer like a jail sentence: Just ninety-nine days till I can leave for college, and be done.
Day 4: A nasty note on my windshield makes it clear Julia isn’t finished. I’m expecting a fight when someone taps me on the shoulder, but it’s just Gabe, home from college and actually happy to see me. “For what it’s worth, Molly Barlow,” he says, “I’m really glad you’re back.”
Day 12: Gabe got me to come to this party, and I’m actually having fun. I think he’s about to kiss me—and that’s when I see Patrick. My Patrick, who’s supposed to be clear across the country. My Patrick, who’s never going to forgive me.
