I felt my feminist rage emboldening up as a read through this wonderful fast-paced modern girl-power novel.
I have had this on my TBR since I watched the Netflix film and I am so glad I read it. Sometimes in our modern society with #MeToo revelations and stories of a yet another cishet white man getting away with their entitlement it can feel like nothing is changing for good, but novels like Moxie remind me that it’s the small things that can make the most difference. That “silence cannot protect you”, it only emboldens those who thrive in quiet to commit more atrocious acts until someone has the courage and fortitude to speak up. If this novel does anything, it encourages women to not only support each other but speak up for the injustices we face. I appreciated the author dipping into the disparity of treatment for women of colour and LGBTQ+ peoples, as well as showing a young man who can listen, grow, and learn from his mistakes and the things he doesn’t (and cannot truely) understand.
I would highly recommend this novel if you are after a quick modern feminist YA read that will fuel your righteousness anger at the injustices in the world by giving you hope for the future.
Remember, never be afraid to speak up for your voice matters.
