This is an okay book, though does less well what Amy Reed does really well with Nowhere Girls. The writing isn't great, but it's fine; the story is enjoyable and inspiring. But it ultimately feels less immediate, less urgent, than I wanted it to.
Also, writers, can you please stop having women use vanilla extract as perfume to show how low maintenance they are? It's not a thing. It's really not.

Teen me would have loved this book so much! It feels like a very realistic story of a girl opening her eyes to the sexism and misogyny in her school and refusing to accept it or stay silent. I really appreciate that Mathieu addressed white privilege, and that so many characters learn and grow over the course of the book.

I read this book in a total of 3 hours. My high school was very similar to Vivian’s. Football players and cheerleaders even had their own administrator. I have witnessed firsthand the special treatment of athletes, and while my high school never had a feminist movement like Moxie, I wish it did. Moxie was beautiful and heartbreaking, yet it kept me chuckling the entire time.
I will say that I was apprehensive about the romance in this book, because going in I almost felt like something would be taken away from the story. After finishing the book, I feel the relationship was necessary due to the contrast of perspectives.

Fuck. Yes.
A realistic and powerful depiction of a teenage girl's ascent into feminism -- and truly badass activism. Mathieu does an incredible job depicting the myriad ways we're societally conditioned to accept the status quo, with loads of empathy for all the girls and women (and even guys) at different stages of this journey. Moxie is also funny, diverse, and stylish -- the feminist zines the protagonist is inspired to make are true works of art, and I wish they were real and I owned them.
I want girls everywhere to read this book and be inspired. I want to be a Moxie Girl. It's time to fight back.
