This book is way different than the movie. Its significantly better; The protagonist has more of a back bone. This is a great feminist ya book. It even discusses how boys can’t understand what its like being a girl, they usually get defensive when talking about it, you don’t need to be defensive, you need to listen.

1 hour 54 minutes - A decently enjoyable read, fairly predictable in places but definitely not dull. It all felt very stereotypical, the popular cheerleader, the outspoken feminist, the awful football players, these characters feel like they have been written and rewritten a hundred times in books, movies and TV shows. However, the story was a very powerful one, taking back power from misogyny in society, with a main character who isn't perfect, has relatable struggles and actually feels very real. The romance involved wasn't overbearing and worked to provide a different perspective, and the author included some points of view of intersectional feminism as well. Overall, an enjoyable but not overly realistic read, but one that is hopefully inspiring to young women fighting the system.
