Moxie by Jennifer Mathieu
4.0

Whew! What a good book! I agree with one review I read: the writing itself isn't stellar, but the topics this book covers are important! Like any teen book, you have to be a little over-the-top to get your message across loud and clear. I hope to God there's really not a high school out there that is as horribly run as this one was (but I went to a private, all-girl high school, so what do I know). But seriously, this is a great and important book for a teen girl that may see a lot of what's presented in this book: sexual harassment, corrupt teachers/principals/higher-ups they don't feel safe disclosing to, rape and sexual assault, and even smaller examples of practices that are "tradition" but make women feel (can't think of the right word, have to go back to work).

It was a great book about feminism in today's times and with our teens please read it okay byyyyeeeee!
